test.py [Python 3.6.8 & pytype==2020.5.13]

from telnetlib import Telnet

session = Telnet("host", 1234)
print (session.host)

Appears to be because Telnet has no host attribute here: https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/1f7023b95787bc86e8f867843ac90f70ed8f6049/stdlib/2and3/telnetlib.pyi#L86. The docs make no mention of this attribute (https://docs.python.org/3/library/telnetlib.html), but you can add it along with an # undocumented comment to the stub.

Let me see if I can transfer this issue directly to the typeshed repo, haven't tried this before.

Ah, looks like I can only transfer issues to repositories that I'm an admin for.

I think you can't transfer issues across Github organisations/users

That makes sense, thanks.

Closing this issue since the attribute has been added to typeshed.
