Description
Bug Report
Mypy generates an error when conditional statements are used inside the class body of a NamedTuple. This is mostly a problem in typeshed.
To Reproduce
from typing import NamedTuple
import sys
class Foo(NamedTuple):
bar: str
if sys.version_info >= (3, 10):
def extra(self) -> str:
return ""
else:
def other(self) -> str:
return ""
Expected Behavior
Mypy generates no error.
Actual Behavior
main.py:6: error: Invalid statement in NamedTuple definition; expected "field_name: field_type [= default]" [misc]
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
