Generic Type[T] function argument rejected as base class

[tyilo]

Bug Report

Since https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/5865 was fixed, the following code now type checks:

from typing import Any, Type


def f(typ: Type[Any]) -> Type[Any]:
    class C(typ):
        pass

    return C

However if we make the superclass generic, it doesn't type check anymore which I would expect it to do.

To Reproduce

from typing import Type, TypeVar

T = TypeVar("T")


def f(typ: Type[T]) -> Type[T]:
    class C(typ):
        pass

    return C

Actual Behavior

mypy_return_type.py:7: error: Variable "typ" is not valid as a type  [valid-type]
mypy_return_type.py:7: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/common_issues.html#variables-vs-type-aliases
