What about old-style unions? They work at runtime:
>>> from typing import Union
>>> isinstance(1, Union[int, str])
True
It's also okay to only support PEP 604 unions for now.
Note those only work with |
I'll take a look at supporting old-style unions, but in another PR. It doesn't seem to be nearly as popular a feature request and it would require monkeypatching typeshed or doing more isinstance special casing: python/typeshed#12137 |
This also fixes #13810 |
@hauntsaninja Unfortunately it seems this fix doesn't extend to the case where the type alias is defined in another module: Given from typing import TypeAlias
IntOrStr: TypeAlias = int | str
assert isinstance(1, int | str)
assert isinstance(1, IntOrStr) And from a import IntOrStr
assert isinstance(1, int | str)
assert isinstance(1, IntOrStr) I get the following output: $ mypy --version
mypy 1.11.0 (compiled: yes)
$ mypy --strict a.py
Success: no issues found in 1 source file
$ mypy --strict b.py
b.py:4: error: Parameterized generics cannot be used with class or instance checks [misc]
b.py:4: error: Argument 2 to "isinstance" has incompatible type "<typing special form>"; expected "_ClassInfo" [arg-type]
Found 2 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file) The issue seems to be that |
Fixes #12155, fixes #11673, seems pretty commonly reported issue
