That's why it's not an interpreter issue but a lack in the official documentation where the signature is documented.
I quote https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#type:
> class type(object)
> class type(name, bases, dict)

The second line should be "class type(name, bases, dict, **kwargs)".

(I've mentioned Pycharm and Mypy, but i think it's a kind of side-effect of the incomplete official documentation on which is based their typeshed)

In fact, I've raised this issue because I've found myself needing to instantiate a class using `type` and kwargs, and I've not found in the documentation an example of it.
