This pull request is a follow-up to https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/7214.
In short, within that mypy issue, we found it would be helpful to
determine between contextmanagers that can "swallow" exceptions vs ones
that can't. This helps prevent some false positive when using flags that
analyze control flow such as `--warn-unreachable`. To do this,
Jelle proposed assuming that only contextmanagers where the `__exit__`
returns `bool` are assumed to swallow exceptions.
This unfortunately required the following typeshed changes:
1. The typing.IO, threading.Lock, and concurrent.futures.Executor
were all modified so `__exit__` returns `Optional[None]` instead
of None -- along with all of their subclasses.
I believe these three types are meant to be subclassed, so I felt
picking the more general type was correct.
2. There were also a few concrete types (e.g. see socketserver,
subprocess, ftplib...) that I modified to return `None` -- I checked
the source code, and these all seem to return None (and don't appear
to be meant to be subclassable).
3. contextlib.suppress was changed to return bool. I also double-checked
the unittest modules and modified a subset of those contextmanagers,
leaving ones like `_AssertRaisesContext` alone.
From the BaseRequestHandler documentation:
handle()
This function must do all the work required to service a request.
The default implementation does nothing. Several instance attributes
are available to it; the request is available as self.request; the
client address as self.client_address; and the server instance as
self.server, in case it needs access to per-server information.
The type of self.request is different for datagram or stream
services. For stream services, self.request is a socket object;
for datagram services, self.request is a pair of string and
socket.
