The docstring for typing.Any specifically says "- Any object is an instance of Any."; in practice however it's not actually the case, as isinstance(x, Any) raises a TypeError. AnyMeta makes this behaviour seem intentional, however the official documentation seems to be a bit vague on that one too -- https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#the-any-type makes no mention of 'isinstance', but just the next paragraph mirrors the docstring, in 'Any object is an instance of Any'. I personally believe this is a behaviour error and the docs are correct, as that seems the most logical conclusion. Should this be fixed for 3.5.1? |

This is basically a duplicate of issue 25830. We can update the docstring of Any once https://github.com/python/typing/issues/136 is solved. |
