Add bound Hashable for types for keys of type Mapping and values of type Set

Problem

Types used for keys in mappings and values in sets are too broad.

How to reproduce

d: [list, int] = {}  # Tools that use typeshed see this code as valid.
d[[1]] = 2 # TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

Solution

Change type of keys in mappings: _KT = TypeVar("_KT") to _KT = TypeVar("_KT", bound=Hashable)

• Added PR with fixes to stdlib

But I still have questions about how to fix the types in set and frozenset.

• For set, we using _T, which is also used for values in the list. Can I change it to _KT? The requirements for the type of values in the set are the same as for the keys in the dictionary. I understand that it is a value, not a key, and the name can be confusing. Do you think of a better option?

• For frozenset, we using covariant _T_co, which is also used for values in the tuple. It's the same problem here. We need a new type that is covariant and bound to Hashable.

• set

• frozenset

And once we figure out what to do with types in stdlib, I will be happy to add the same changes to third-party libraries.

Start by reviewing stdlib/builtins.pyi at the set and frozenset definitions referenced in the issue, along with PR 9570's related mapping changes. Decide how the set type variable and a covariant, Hashable-bounded frozenset variable should be represented, then update the stdlib stubs and verify that unhashable keys or set values are rejected by the relevant type-checking tools.
