Type annotation error in pycountry.countries.search_fuzzy?

[alichaudry]

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the following code is throwing a mypy error:

    matches = pycountry.countries.search_fuzzy(country_name)
    if matches:
        return matches[0].alpha_2

The mypy error is:

"type[ExistingCountries]" has no attribute "alpha_2" Mypy[attr-defined]

But if I check in the interpreter, I can see it is indeed an attribute there:

In [19]: type(country)
Out[19]: pycountry.db.Country

In [20]: country.alpha_2
Out[20]: 'GB'

Perhaps an issue in the typing that was added recently?
