Type hint for TypeConversionDict.get is too limited #2988
Description
Given the following code
from werkzeug.datastructures import TypeConversionDict
d = TypeConversionDict()
def parse_int(value: str) -> int:
return int(value)
d.get("foo", type=int)
d.get("foo", type=parse_int)mypy complains with
foo.py:13:1: error: No overload variant of "get" of "TypeConversionDict" matches argument types "str", "Callable[[str], int]" [call-overload]
d.get("foo", type=parse_int)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foo.py:13:1: note: Possible overload variants:
foo.py:13:1: note: def get(self, key: Any) -> Any | None
foo.py:13:1: note: def get(self, key: Any, default: Any) -> Any
foo.py:13:1: note: def [T] get(self, key: Any, default: T) -> Any | T
foo.py:13:1: note: def [T] get(self, key: str, type: type[T]) -> T | None
foo.py:13:1: note: def [T] get(self, key: str, default: T, type: type[T]) -> T
It seems like that the type hint for type is too limited and should also include callables as the docstring says
:param type: A callable that is used to cast the value in the :class:`MultiDict`. If a :exc:`ValueError` or a :exc:`TypeError` is raised by this callable the default value is returned.
Environment:
- Python version: 3.12.0
- Werkzeug version: 3.1.1
- mypy version: 1.13.0
