Hi @altendky thanks for the contribution.

What is this exactly addressing 🙃 ?

[altendky]

I was trying to type hint a function that takes a signal as a parameter. The object you get when you a_qobject.some_signal isn't a QtCore.Signal but rather a QtCore.SignalInstance or QtCore.pyqtBoundSignal depending.

I'm not actually running mypy on this project yet but I think I'll need to do something over in the stubs as well based on PyCharm being a bit confused as is. (or maybe I just haven't installed the third-party stubs yet and that'll help out).

[goanpeca]

Ok understood. Anything that we could do on our side with MyPy to help with this?

[altendky]

I really don't know. I've only touched mypy a little bit at this point. If I find something that seems like it would be best fixed here, I'll let you know. :] For now, just having a single way to refer to the 'signal instance' class would address my immediate need. (well, I worked around it with a quick if in my own code so I'm not being held up).

[goanpeca]

@altendky ok, so far this looks ok, will merge. A new release will be available in a couple of weeks while I do some cleanup of other PRs. Thanks again!

[goanpeca]

We have some simple tests that check that things are imported. Could you add one?

[altendky]

Yeah, I saw that but didn't see a lot so I skipped them. Should be an easy add. Maybe in a few hours here.

[goanpeca]

Thanks, that test now clarifies everything :-)

Merging!
