Higher-Kinded TypeVars

aka type constructors, generic TypeVars

Has there already been discussion about those?
I do a lot of FP that results in impossible situations because of this. Consider an example:

A = TypeVar('A')
B = TypeVar('B')
F = TypeVar('F')

class M(Generic[F[X], A]):
    def x(fa: F[A], f: Callable[[A], B]) -> F[B]:
        return map(f, fa)

M().x([1], str)

I haven't found a way to make this work, does anyone know a trick or is it impossible?
If not, consider the syntax as a proposal.
Reference implementations would be Haskell, Scala.
optimally, the HK's type param would be indexable as well, allowing for F[X[X, X], X[X]]

Summary of current status (by @smheidrich, 2024-02-08):

• @JelleZijlstra has indicated interest in sponsoring a PEP, conditional on a prototype implementation in a major type checker and a well-specified draft PEP.
• Drafting the PEP takes place in @nekitdev's fork of the peps repo. The stub PEP draft so far contains a few examples of the proposed syntax.
• That same repo's GitHub Discussions forum forum has been designated as the place to discuss the PEP (and presumably the prototype implementation?). Some limited further discussions have taken place there.
  • If you want to be notified of new discussion threads, I think you have to set the whole repo as "watched" in GitHub?

リンク先のpeps forkにあるPEPの草案から始め、その後、現在の設計とプロトタイプに関する議論について、指定されたGitHub Discussionsフォーラムを読んでください。完了条件は、issueの概要に記載されているとおり、十分に仕様化されたPEPと主要な型チェッカーでのプロトタイプ実装です。
