When trying to unpack a tuple of a TypeVarTuple from a class method where that class contains a constrained TypeVar different from the one inhabited by the TypeVarTuple, mypy will issue a has-type error despite reveal_type showing the full correct type.
classContainer[T, P: (Literal[True], Literal[False])]:
deffoo(self) ->T:
raiseNotImplementedErrordeff[*Ts, P: (Literal[True], Literal[False])](
container: Container[tuple[*Ts], P],
) ->None:
result=container.foo()
reveal_type(result) # Revealed type is "tuple[*Ts]"y= (*result,) # Cannot determine type of "result" [has-type]# Expected: tuple[*Ts]# Actual: tuple[Any, ...]reveal_type(y)
Expected Behavior
This code should have no errors, and the type of y should be tuple[*Ts]
Actual Behavior
Despite the reveal_type of result clearly showing tuple[*Ts], mypy issues a has-type error when unpacking it, and the resulting type of y ends up being wrong.
Additional Notes
If you remove the P generic, or make it normal/bound instead of constrained, the code works as expected.
Adding an annotation to result does get rid of the error, however in my actual code the result from foo is a tuple that I unpack like this result, index = container.foo(), so I cannot easily add that annotation. (I can like this result: tuple[*Ts] before the unpacking assignment, but that makes the code uglier.)
