Bug Report
Mypy reasons incorrectly about the return type of collections.deque.copy() if the item type is a generic with a type parameter inside a generic class.
To Reproduce
from collections import deque
from typing import Any, Callable, Generic, List, Protocol, TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
def test(item_type: T) -> None:
a: deque[List[T]] = deque()
b: deque[List[T]] = a.copy() # ok
class Test(Generic[T]):
def test(self) -> None:
a: deque[List[T]] = deque()
b: deque[List[T]] = a.copy() # error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "deque[List[List[T]]]", variable has type "deque[List[T]]") [assignment]Expected Behavior
The return type in the above example should be List[T] not List[List[T]].
