OK, I missed out on [email protected], and now I know this thread is off-topic on [email protected].
A bit more clear example of what I want to do is: ``` class Field: def __init__(self, desc: str) -> None: self.desc = desc class FooMetaType: variable_both_class_and_instance: Field def __call__(self, value: int) -> 'Foo': ... class Foo: variable_both_class_and_instance: int def __init__(self, value: int) -> None: self.variable_both_class_and_instance = value Foo: FooMetaType Foo.variable_both_class_and_instance = Field(desc="descriptive string") instance = Foo(5) print(instance.variable_both_class_and_instance) ``` Static typing on this example doesn't work correctly as expected because it does not allow overwriting another type over a class declaration. My point on the example is the tangible value should be assigned to the instance variables. Still, on the other hand, I want to give a value denoting the variable's metadata to the class variable. From my understanding, these variables, like this `variable_both_class_and_instance` in the example, cannot be correctly typed. Thank you for your kindness, I'll repost it to [email protected]. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/IDV7E26G4SDUNEGCMFAAMXLO52YQNOPE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
