New submission from Michael <login at michaelthe.com>:
dict with three type parameters is legal (e.g., dict[str, str, str]), where I expected a TypeError. When using typing.Dict, it does raise a TypeError.
Example in python 3.9:
>>> from typing import Dict
>>> Dict[str, str, str] # Raises a TypeError, as expected
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/michaelthe/.pyenv/versions/3.9.6/lib/python3.9/typing.py", line 275, in inner
return func(*args, **kwds)
File "/Users/michaelthe/.pyenv/versions/3.9.6/lib/python3.9/typing.py", line 828, in __getitem__
_check_generic(self, params, self._nparams)
File "/Users/michaelthe/.pyenv/versions/3.9.6/lib/python3.9/typing.py", line 212, in _check_generic
raise TypeError(f"Too {'many' if alen > elen else 'few'} parameters for {cls};"
TypeError: Too many parameters for typing.Dict; actual 3, expected 2
>>> dict[str, str, str] # No TypeError here?
dict[str, str, str]
This also works in 3.7 and 3.8:
Python 3.8.11 (default, Jul 6 2021, 12:13:09)
[Clang 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from __future__ import annotations
>>> dict[str, str, str]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable
>>> def foo(bar: dict[str, str, str]): pass
...
>>> foo.__annotations__
{'bar': 'dict[str, str, str]'}
