Mypyc runtime TypeError exceptions when you change inherited method to a staticmethod

Crash Report

Using mypyc to compile an ABC subclass with @classmethod and implement it in a subclass as @staticmethod leads to runtime type exceptions.

checkers_minimax.py

from abc import ABC


class State:
    """State object."""


class MinimaxWithTT(ABC):
    @classmethod
    def terminal(cls, state: State) -> bool:
        return False

    def alphabeta_transposition_table(
        self,
        state: State,
    ) -> None:
        print(f"Just before crash {type(state) = }")
        self.terminal(state)


class CheckersMinimax(MinimaxWithTT):
    @staticmethod
    def terminal(state: State) -> bool:
        return False


def run() -> None:
    mm = CheckersMinimax()
    mm.alphabeta_transposition_table(State())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run()

mypyc checkers_minimax.py
python -c "from checkers_minimax import run; run()"

Inizia con la riproduzione in checkers_minimax.py ed esegui il comando mypyc documentato seguito dall’invocazione di Python. Traccia il modo in cui mypyc gestisce il classmethod ereditato sovrascritto come staticmethod; il lavoro è completato quando il programma compilato viene eseguito senza il TypeError segnalato e la regressione è coperta da un test appropriato.
