mypy is failing on from git import Blob #1349
Description
Why mypy is failing when running this code:
$ cat /tmp/test.py
from git import Blob
$ mypy /tmp/test.py
/tmp/test.py:1: error: Module "git" has no attribute "Blob"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
$ python3 -c "import git; print(git.__version__)"
3.1.23
$ mypy --version
mypy 0.910
$ python3 --version
Python 3.9.7?
I can see that there is a conditional import in git/objects/base.py:
if TYPE_CHECKING:
from git.repo import Repo
from gitdb.base import OStream
from .tree import Tree
from .blob import Blob
from .submodule.base import Submodule
from git.refs.reference import and it seems that TYPE_CHECKING is set to False (I guess so based on the above error). Do you know why is that? How to workaround the problem?
