According to the documentation in the typing module, TypeVars cannot
have only a single constraint. Attempting to do so will actually result
in an exception at runtime. (However, this error is currently ignored
by mypy -- see https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/2626 for a related
pending pull request).
This commit changes all instances of TypeVars using a single constraint
(e.g. `T = TypeVar('T', Foo)`) to use bounds instead (e.g.
`T = TypeVar('T', bound=Foo)`.
This seems to be the correct fix for plistlib after reading the module
docs, but it's less obvious this is correct for unittest. The unittest
module originally had `_FT = TypeVar('_FT', Callable[[Any], Any])` -- an
alternative fix would have been to do `_FT = Callable[[Any], Any]`.
Although I'm not entirely sure what it means to have a bound be a
Callable, I decided to make the assumption that the original authors
probably meant to use TypeVars instead of type aliases for a reason
(possibly to handle classes implementing `__call__`?)
* Define __slots__ for object as Iterable[str] / Iterable[Union[str, unicode]]
* A string as __slots__ value is also valid and represents a single item
Correctly detects calls to `register()` with a function of incompatible return
type. Correctly recognizes the `register()`, `dispatch()`, and
`_clear_cache()` methods on a generic function, as well as the `registry`
mapping.
Possible future improvements: it would be amazing if `register()` checked if
the first argument of the registered callable is indeed of valid type. This
would require Callable[] to support varargs. It would also be great if we
could read the arguments of the remaining arguments during `@singledispatch()`
and cross-check them during `register()` with the currently registered
implementation. Again, this would require Callable[] to become much more
advanced.
Several asyncio AbstractEventLoop methods take a callback as
an argument that is passed *args. The Callable definition was
incorrect for those callbacks.
