Mypy was complaining because our type annotation for
add_c_convertersays (correctly) that the argument passed in has to be a subclass ofCConverter. But that isn't necessarily true here, since this metaclass could theoretically be used with classes other thanCConverter(it isn't, and it won't be, but mypy doesn't know that).Ideally we could do this:
But we can't... because if
clsisCConverteritself, then at this point,CConverterdoesn't exist in the global namespace yet! So that would fail withNameError.I therefore elected to use
typing.cast()to just tell mypy to go away here.There was a problem hiding this comment.
