Incompatible return value type when using typevar with bound and self returning method
Bug Report
Using a typevar bound to a class that has a self returning method leads to an error when using in a function that operates on the typevar and returns the typevar. Using constraint does not present the issue but looses the generic on the class.
To Reproduce
# pyright: strict
from typing import Any, Generic, TypeVar
from typing_extensions import Self, reveal_type
T = TypeVar("T")
class X(Generic[T]):
def m(self, v: int) -> Self:
return self
class Y:
def m(self, v: int) -> Self:
return self
# using bound: tb_self errors with Incompatible return value type
TB = TypeVar("TB", bound=X[Any] | Y)
def tb_self(value: TB) -> TB:
return value.m(42)
def tb(value: TB) -> TB:
return value
reveal_type(tb_self(X[int]()))
reveal_type(tb(X[int]()))
# using constraint: return type is X[Any] in both cases
TC = TypeVar("TC", X[Any], Y)
def tc_self(value: TC) -> TC:
return value.m(42)
def tc(value: TC) -> TC:
return value
reveal_type(tc_self(X[int]()))
reveal_type(tc(X[int]()))

The output is:

For reference pyright on the same input reports no error
Expected Behavior
The is no error.
Actual Behavior
Mypy reports an error when the using a self returning method
