Fixes: #16506
Changed the suggestion made by mypy for the following error
error: Invalid type comment or annotation [valid-type]
In the case that the type of the
self.parent()
is None, instead of suggestingnote: Suggestion: use Foo[...] instead of Foo(...)
mypy will not suggest anything at all.We also added a test case in mypy similar to that mentioned in issues to verify that the mypy prompts the correct error.
