`typing.get_type_hints` gives a different result for a wrapper created with `functools.wraps` in case of inferred `Optional` arguments (when the default value of the argument is None) ```python from functools import wraps from typing import get_type_hints def foo(bar: int = None): ... @wraps(foo) def foo2(*args, **kwargs): ... print(get_type_hints(foo)) # {'bar': typing.Optional[int]} print(get_type_hints(foo2)) # {'bar': <class 'int'>} ``` This is because `get_type_hints` use the defauts of the wrapper (`foo2`) and not those of the wrapped function (`foo`). This is not consistent with some other tools like `inspect.signature` which gives the same signature (and thus same default argument) for the wrapped function and its wrapper. I think this case has simply been forgotten in the resolution of https://bugs.python.org/issue37838 (fixing `get_type_hints` not taking `wraps` in account at all), because inferred `Optional` is a kind deprecated feature (https://github.com/python/typing/issues/275). |
