[issue37299] RuntimeWarning is NOT raised

No, it's not. If "1/0" is present in never executed code block Python don't raise an exception too. Warnings are not exceptional.

open() raises ResoucesWarning for an unclosed file only if the code is actually running.

If the code branch is not executed the Python runtime doesn't throw errors/warnings about its usage.


I'm sorry, mypy doesn't detect this. Potentially could maybe, though.
