Metaclass confusion with properties

I'm using python 3.8 and mypy 0.740. The script below prints "21" and "42" when run, but fails to type check with mypy:

class meta (type):
    pass

class value (metaclass=meta):
    pass


class submeta (meta):
    @property
    def attr(cls) -> int:
        return 42

class subvalue (metaclass=submeta):
    @property
    def attr(self) -> int:
        return 21

o = subvalue()
a = o.attr
print(a)
a = subvalue.attr
print(a)

The mypy diagnostics say:

meta-test.py:24: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "Callable[[subvalue], int]", variable has type "int")
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

The error is incorrect, "subvalue.attr" has type "int", as it resolves to the property defined on the metaclass, not to the property defined on the class.

This is fairly esoteric as written, but is the structure used by PyObjC to expose Objective-C classes. PyObjC uses metaclasses to expose class methods because ObjC classes can have instance- and class-methods with the same name.

Reproduisez le diagnostic à l’aide de l’exemple meta-test.py décrit dans l’issue avec Python 3.8 et mypy 0.740. Commencez par retracer comment mypy résout les propriétés sur subvalue par rapport à sa métaclasse submeta. C’est terminé lorsque subvalue.attr est inféré comme int sans l’erreur incompatible-assignment signalée, tandis que l’accès à l’instance reste correct.
