Descripción
Bug Report
If a function signature contains one or more explicit keyword parameters followed by a **kwargs parameter, and the function is called on kwargs only, then mypy generates false positive type errors.
The number of errors generated is unbounded and appears to be equal to the number of distinct types found among the explicit keyword parameters. In addition, the errors are mutually inconsistent with one another (see example below).
To Reproduce
from typing import Any, Optional
def example(
*,
a: Optional[int] = None,
b: Optional[float] = None,
c: Optional[bool] = None,
d: Optional[list] = None,
**kwargs
) -> None:
print(kwargs)
kwargs = {'hello': 'world'}
example(**kwargs)
Expected Behavior
I'd expect this to pass type-checking: it looks perfectly correct to me. All I'm doing is passing kwargs into kwargs.
Actual Behavior
example.py:14: error: Argument 1 to "example" has incompatible type "**dict[str, str]"; expected "Optional[int]" [arg-type]
example.py:14: error: Argument 1 to "example" has incompatible type "**dict[str, str]"; expected "Optional[float]" [arg-type]
example.py:14: error: Argument 1 to "example" has incompatible type "**dict[str, str]"; expected "Optional[bool]" [arg-type]
example.py:14: error: Argument 1 to "example" has incompatible type "**dict[str, str]"; expected "Optional[list[Any]]" [arg-type]
Found 4 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
In addition to being false positives, these errors are mutually inconsistent: mypy is claiming that an Optional[int] is expected in Argument 1, and also that an Optional[float] is expected in Argument 1, and also that an Optional[bool] is expected in Argument 1, and so on!
If I change the last line to this:
example(a=None, b=None, c=None, d=None, **kwargs)
then the errors go away. Is this really what mypy wants me to do??

Línea de trabajo
Empieza reproduciendo el ejemplo del issue con mypy 1.14.1 y sigue el flujo de comprobación de argumentos con nombre para parámetros con nombre explícitos seguidos de **kwargs. Añade una prueba de regresión para la llamada mostrada y verifica que no produzca errores de falso positivo, mientras que las llamadas con argumentos con nombre explícitos incompatibles sigan comprobándose.
