调研方向

首先审查 typing.IO、typing.BinaryIO、typing.TextIO 和 io.BytesIO 的运行时行为,以及它们与 typeshed 的关系和所链接的 CPython issue。比较提出的三种方案,并记录或实现一份达成共识的规范和运行时方向;完成的要求是解决 isinstance() 和 issubclass() 应如何表现。

描述

topic: other

The classes typing.IO, typing.BinaryIO, and typing.TextIO look like they want to be Protocols or ABCs, but in fact they are defined as regular generic classes, both at runtime and in typeshed. However, they are meant to encompass the concrete IO classes defined in the io module, and in typeshed we implement that by having these classes inherit from typing.*IO classes, even though there is no such inheritance at runtime.

This can easily lead to unsound behavior:

import io, typing

def f(x: int | io.BytesIO) -> int:
    if isinstance(x, typing.BinaryIO):
        return x.fileno()
    return x

f(io.BytesIO()) + 1  # boom

Type checkers think BytesIO is a subclass of BinaryIO, because that's how it's defined in typeshed, but in fact it isn't at runtime.

I can see a few solutions:

  1. Special-case typing.*IO in the spec and say that type checkers should reject isinstance()/issubclass() calls involving them.
  2. Deprecate the typing.*IO classes and eventually remove them, nudging people to use their own Protocols (or the new io.Reader/io.Writer) instead. This is conceptually clean but may be annoying for a lot of users; the typing classes are nice to use in simple application code.
  3. Make these classes actually (runtime-checkable?) Protocols at runtime, though they would be unwieldily large.

Even if we do (2) or (3) type checkers might still want to do (1) since it will be a while before the relevant runtime changes take effect.

(Noticed this while looking into https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/133492 .)
