Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown function-attribute assignment with mypy and inspect the resulting diagnostic. Define the intended typing behavior and a concrete acceptance case for avoiding type: ignore; done means that case is accepted and covered by a regression test.

Description

false-positive needs discussion priority-1-normal

Here's example code:

def foo():
    pass

foo.csrf_exempt = True

Ideally there'd be something other than a type: ignored to do here.
