Value of type "Type[type]" is not indexable error inside reveal_type(type[type])

[denballakh]

When type[type] is used inside reveal_type() i get Value of type "Type[type]" is not indexable error:

reveal_type(type[type]) # Value of type "Type[type]" is not indexable
                        # Revealed type is "Any"

Expected Behavior
I expect behavior similar to this example:

X: type[type[type]]
reveal_type(X) # Revealed type is "Type[Type[builtins.type]]"

So i expect this:

reveal_type(type[type]) # Revealed type is "Type[Type[builtins.type]]"

My Environment

• mypy 0.961 (compiled: no)
• no command-line flags, no config file
• CPython 3.10.4
• Windows 10

It's the same bug as this: #12392 (I guess this isn't, strictly speaking, a duplicate, however). The underlying issue is that mypy still struggles with type[T] being used in runtime contexts.

Also this:

type[int](1)  # error: Value of type "Type[type]" is not indexable

Also this:

a: object = type[int]
