Hello all - curious about hot to get type checkers (mypy, pyright) to get Parameters recognized correctly? if I do

instructions = Parameter(name="instructions",type=str)

And later I have a function expecting a string and try to use

instructions

to pass to it, pyright says:

Argument of type "Parameter" cannot be assigned to parameter "param" of type "str" in function "myfunc"

@dry-beach-38304 any thoughts here?

Just another ping here in case it got lost!

oh it did get lost. We may be able to work something out with a generic type but I can’t figure the last bit which is actually making them fully behave like int/str/etc. There seems to be some way with protocols (not 100% sure) but that’s 3.8+ (and we try to support 3.6 at least). I’ll give it a bit more thought.

Yeah we just either use

cast(str, instructions)

or "convert" directly when passing like

str(instructions)

which is fine for now - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something - thanks!

cast or str will work but it would be nicer to have something better for sure.
