mypy does not recognize os.name
Bug Report
mypy respects platform conditions using sys.platform variable, but do not recognize os.name.
Related issue: #8166
To Reproduce
Consider this piece of code, assuming we are on Linux:
import os
import signal
if os.name == 'nt':
signal_type = signal.SIGBREAK
else:
signal_type = signal.SIGTERM
Expected Behavior
mypy should not raise any error.
Actual Behavior
mypy fails with:
main.py:5: error: Module has no attribute "SIGBREAK"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
Note that replacing os.name == 'nt' with sys.platform == 'win32' fixes this issue.
Environment
- Mypy version used: 0.961
- Python version used: 3.10
- Operating system: Linux
Similar to https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/8166#issuecomment-1774204090 This is understood by the Pylance language server (and I assume pyright, although I haven't properly tested)
setuptools for example, has this snippet of code, which causes error: Cannot find implementation or library stub for module named "dl" [import-not-found] on Windows:
have_rtld = False
use_stubs = False
if sys.platform == "darwin":
use_stubs = True
elif os.name != 'nt':
try:
import dl # type: ignore[import-not-found] # https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/13002
use_stubs = have_rtld = hasattr(dl, 'RTLD_NOW')
except ImportError:
pass
