Using builtin list as argument to map

[PhilReinhold]

Bug Report

Mypy emits a spurious error when using the python builtin list as the first argument to the python builtin map

To Reproduce

from typing import List

x: List[str] = list(map(str, range(5)))  # works
y: List[List[str]] = list(map(list, x))  # fails
z: List[str] = list("1")  # works

Expected Behavior

I would expect no error. The builtin in list should satisfy the expected type Callable[[str], List[_T]].

(Write what you thought would happen.)

Actual Behavior

running mypy on this yields error: Argument 1 to "map" has incompatible type "Type[List[Any]]"; expected "Callable[[str], List[_T]]"

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 0.812
• Mypy command-line flags: None
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): None
• Python version used: 3.7.10
• Operating system and version: Windows 10
