Description
from typing import TypeVar, Generic
from pyspark.sql import DataFrame
import pandas as pd
AnyDataFrame = TypeVar('AnyDataFrame', pd.DataFrame, DataFrame)
class OutputA(Generic[AnyDataFrame]):
@property
def original_data(self) -> AnyDataFrame:
return self._original_data
@original_data.setter
def original_data(self, value: AnyDataFrame) -> None:
self._original_data = value
I get mypy error: Need type annotation for "_original_data" [var-annotated]
I have to add the annotation as below to solve the error, why?
@original_data.setter
def original_data(self, value: AnyDataFrame) -> None:
self._original_data: AnyDataFrame = value
