Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the current specification text covering inheritance and compare it with the typeshed examples mentioned for gevent, psutil, and builtins; done means the behavior of inheriting from Any is explicitly specified and those examples are covered.

Description

topic: typing spec

I can't find anywhere in the current spec where we specify how inheriting from Any should work. I've heard that it's relied upon in typeshed. (E.g. class pmem(Any) in gevent and psutil, and class _NotImplementedType(Any) in builtins.)
