There are some related issues:

• More precisely typehint asyncio.gather up to 5 params #1550
• Clarification: return type for asyncio.gather()? #3243
• Incorrect return type for asyncio.gather? #2652
• And several questions on StackOverflow

But the problem is still the same. When a generator is passed to asyncio.gather, the expected return type should be Future[list[_T]]. However, it currently returns Future[tuple[_T1]], leading to type hinting warnings. This is a common pattern in asyncio code, and every time it cause unnecessary warnings in IDEs

Example code snippet:

async def fetch(url: str) -> str:
    pass  # fetch logic


def analyze(responses: list[str]) -> int:
    pass  # analyze logic that need all responses, maybe external library


async def create_report(urls: list[str]):
    responses = await asyncio.gather(*(
        fetch(url)
        for url in urls
    ))
    some_value = analyze(responses)
    # create report

I read tasks.pyi file, but a significant number of developers use asyncio.gather(*[...]). So this behavior should be reviewed
