Description

mypy -c 'from aiohttp import ClientRequest' with aiohttp==3.4.4 fails on mypy 0.670 but passes on mypy 0.660.

Bisect shows the culprit to be https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/6256 and in particular I think to be https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/6256/files#diff-cc0809c072977e8bf33796c4b2c3a823R323.

Not totally sure what all the components involved in the issue are. PEP 561 was suspected but I now think that was a red herring. Star imports are definitely involved and I think __all__ as well

Research direction

Reproduce the regression with mypy -c 'from aiohttp import ClientRequest' using aiohttp==3.4.4, then inspect PR 6256, especially the linked diff location. Trace the star-import and __all__ handling to identify why mypy 0.670 fails where 0.660 passes; done means the import succeeds without regressing related import behavior.
