• Python version used: 3.10.9
• Operating system and version: Windows 11 22621.1413

Additional Comment

Let me say that I do believe that the concept of static type checking of Union is broken (again: the concept). In my very humble opinion as user, if I do declare something as a Union (either with the keyword or the | operator), mypy must believe that when the time comes, the variable/attribute declared as a Union, will contain one of the types.

Reporting errors like

error: Unsupported operand types for <= ("Decimal" and "str")  [operator]

when the Union contains Union[Decimal, str, int, float] is in my very humble opinion: wrong. Such an error can be reported during runtime, but not during static analysis, because mypy has no way of knowing what the type at that stage contains. Reporting a "warning" would be ok. Reporting an "error" is an error itself.

No, as a user I am not in the mood of adding cast here and there and here-there to pollute the code, hence the need to add a # type: ignore to silence mypy.

Here's a smaller reproducer:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Protocol

@dataclass
class TargetSettings(Protocol):
    min: int

    def __post_init__(self) -> None:
        self.min = int(self.min)

Combining @dataclass and Protocol is a strange thing to do and I'm not sure it should be allowed. However, mypy should not crash.

I do understand that @dataclass may make no sense for a Protocol, but this is, imho, bound to happen again, assuming typing becomes the mainstream development path.

How it happened in this case:

• A dataclass ended up being used by a secondary class class and mypy was complaining that the referenced dataclass didn't have attribute X. Because it was defined later in the code.
• The dataclass vital parts were taken out and put into a Protocol defined before the secondary class which means the secondary class can reference the protocol and be happy
• Because the final class is a dataclass it seemed sensible to also have the Protocol class being decorated as a dataclass

Hello! Why your project backtrader is stopped? It is so great!!!! ....
I have created Binance API integration with Backtrader https://github.com/WISEPLAT/backtrader_binance
Can you please continue this project? or give me or someone permissions to push in it?

[mementum]

One of the reasons to dive deep into typing is to modernize backtrader with typing and also add additional features from more modern Python.

Python 2.7 was still trendy and full in scope back in 2015.

[WISEPLAT]

But for now - it's functionality is great to create live strategies in production. Just continue to develop this great project and implement new features.
Just for example, here is https://github.com/cia76/ 3! three libraries to connect Backtrader with 3 live brokers to real live trading!!, and I have implemented its connection to Binance https://github.com/WISEPLAT/backtrader_binance !!
You have created a great project! Please don't stop the development of this project.
Please don't think about anything))), just continue to develop new features and implement them in Backtrader!
