Bug Report
Overriding an attribute with a descriptor causes mypy to be unable to verify compliance with the parent's attribute.
This is similar to #17513, but at the moment it appears this is a distinct problem caused by child classes using descriptors.
To Reproduce
from __future__ import annotations
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import overload, TypeVar
_T = TypeVar("_T")
class Value:
pass
class ContainerBase(ABC):
@property
@abstractmethod
def value(self) -> Value:
pass
class ValueAttr:
@overload
def __get__(self: _T, instance: None, owner: type[object]) -> _T:
pass
@overload
def __get__(self, instance: _T, owner: type[_T]) -> Value:
pass
def __get__(self: _T, instance: object | None, owner: type[object]) -> Value | _T:
if instance is None:
return self
return Value()
class Container(ContainerBase):
value = ValueAttr()
# mypy says about the line above:
# error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "ValueAttr", base class "ContainerBase" defined the type as
# "Value") [assignment]

Expected Behavior
No errors, and a Container
instance's value
attribute should be of type Value
.
Actual Behavior
The error above, and a Container
instance's value
attribute type is inferred as Any
.
