Description
Bug Report
When answering this question on StackOverflow, I found a weird issue with mypy, which does not happen with either pyre or pytype.
Furthermore, by changing the identity function below to only accept positional arguments the problem is fixed.
To Reproduce
Check the following code with mypy
import functools
from typing import Iterable, TypeVar, Callable
T1 = TypeVar('T1')
T2 = TypeVar('T2')
def chain(
functions: Iterable[Callable[[T1], T1]]
) -> Callable[[T1], T1]:
def compose(
f: Callable[[T1], T1],
g: Callable[[T1], T1]
) -> Callable[[T1], T1]:
def h(x: T1) -> T1:
return g(f(x))
return h
def identity(x: T1) -> T1:
return x
return functools.reduce(compose, functions, identity)
def add_one(x):
return x + 1
def mul_two(x):
return x * 2
assert chain([add_one, mul_two, mul_two, add_one])(7) == 33```
Expected Behavior
I expected no errors
Actual Behavior
src/test.py:23: error: Argument 1 to "reduce" has incompatible type "Callable[[Arg(Callable[[T1], T1], 'f'), Arg(Callable[[T1], T1], 'g')], Callable[[T1], T1]]"; expected "Callable[[Callable[[Arg(T1, 'x')], T1], Callable[[T1], T1]], Callable[[Arg(T1, 'x')], T1]]"

Research direction
Start with the reproducer in the issue and compare mypy's handling of functools.reduce when the identity callable accepts positional arguments versus non-positional arguments. Verify the fix by checking that the supplied example is accepted without errors while preserving the reported callable typing behavior.
