Description
Bug Report
In an inheritance scenario with pydantic.BaseModel and generics, mypy 1.2.0 fails to recognise an overridden __init__(),
and wrongly reports an error (see "actual behavior").
To Reproduce
from __future__ import annotations
from typing import Generic, List, Type, TypeVar
from pydantic import BaseModel, PrivateAttr
B_co = TypeVar("B_co", bound=BaseModel, covariant=True)
class Container(Generic[B_co], BaseModel):
"""Container is the base class for any item-type specific containers,
to allow bundling and processing of aggregates
"""
_item_class: Type[B_co] = PrivateAttr()
__root__: List[B_co]
def __init__(self, *args: B_co) -> None:
super().__init__(__root__=list(args))
def __len__(self) -> int:
return len(self.__root__)
def __getitem__(self, index: int) -> B_co:
return self.__root__[index]
class Item(BaseModel):
name: str
class Items(Container[Item]):
_item_class = Item
items = Items(Item(name="one"), Item(name="two"))
print(items)
Expected Behavior
The overridden __init__ method in the Container class has the correct signature, and mypy should not flag any issues.
Actual Behavior
ttt/ttt.py:33: error: Too many arguments for "Items" [call-arg]
ttt/ttt.py:33: error: Too many positional arguments for "Items" [misc]
ttt/ttt.py:33: error: Argument 1 to "Items" has incompatible type "Item"; expected "List[B_co]" [arg-type]
Found 3 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided example with mypy 1.2.0 and the shown configuration. Trace how mypy determines the constructor signature for the generic BaseModel subclass and how the pydantic plugin affects it. Done means the example type-checks without the three reported errors while preserving the intended constructor typing.
