Problems using SimpleXMLRPCServer.register_function

Hi, I seem to be having an issue getting SimpleXMLRPCServer.register_function() to co-operate with mypy type checking. It seems that the callback protocol _DispatchProtocol isn't working quite right? A function with 0 arguments, and a class with an explicit __call__ method work fine, but a function with arguments does not seem to work properly.

This seems to be similar to a couple of other already-closed issues: #4163 and #4317.

I am running mypy 0.790 under Python 3.8.5.

Here is a minimal example:

from xmlrpc.server import SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler, SimpleXMLRPCServer


def forty_two() -> int:
    return 42


def echo_int(value: int) -> int:
    return value


class EchoInt(object):
    def __call__(self, value: int) -> int:
        return value


def main() -> None:
    xml_rpc_server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(
        ('0.0.0.0', 8080), requestHandler=SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler, allow_none=True
    )
    xml_rpc_server.register_function(forty_two)
    xml_rpc_server.register_function(echo_int)
    xml_rpc_server.register_function(EchoInt)

This is the error output I get from running mypy on this file, flagging only the xml_rpc_server.register_function(echo_int) statement:

test.py:22: error: Argument 1 to "register_function" of "SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher" has incompatible type "Callable[[int], int]"; expected "Union[_DispatchArity0, _DispatchArity1, _DispatchArity2, _DispatchArity3, _DispatchArity4, _DispatchArityN, None]"

Thanks!

Commencez par le stub xmlrpc.server et le point d’entrée SimpleXMLRPCServer.register_function, en vous concentrant sur les types de callback de _DispatchProtocol. Exécutez mypy sur l’exemple minimal de l’issue et comparez les cas acceptés de fonction sans argument et de classe appelable avec echo_int. C’est terminé lorsque le type de fonction prenant des arguments passe la vérification de types sans provoquer de régression dans les autres enregistrements.
