Description
Let
from unknown_module import Base
class Bar(Base):
pass
- With
--ignore-missing-importsand--disallow-subclassing-any, you get:main.py:3: error: Class cannot subclass "Base" (has type "Any") [misc] - With
--ignore-missing-importsand--disallow-any-unimported, you get:main.py:3: error: Base type Base becomes "Any" due to an unfollowed import [no-any-unimported]
In both cases, and in particular in the second case, it could be helpful to mention "unknown_module".

Research direction
Reproduce the examples in main.py with --ignore-missing-imports, --disallow-subclassing-any, and --disallow-any-unimported, then trace the diagnostic entry point for these messages. Done means the relevant error output identifies unknown_module as the source of the Any value.
