Shape not recognized by PyCharm autoimport

[rruiter87]

If I type Shape and press Alt + Enter in PyCharm to find the correct import, it doesn't give nptyping.Shape as a suggestion. But if I add from nptyping import Shape, it works as expected.

With other types it gives the right suggestions.

Maybe it is because Shape is imported like this?

nptyping/nptyping/__init__.py

Line 73 in 52252f2

from nptyping.typing_ import Literal as Shape # type: ignore[attr-defined]

I don't quite get why you do that, because Shape is again also defined here.

nptyping/nptyping/typing_.py

Line 62 in 52252f2

Shape: TypeAlias = Literal

It should be possible to just do from nptyping.typing_ import Shape in __init__.py right?

What PyCharm version are you using? I could not reproduce this (but I'm still running 2020.3).

Well, that seems to be a leftover from trickery to make MyPy/Pylint/PyCharm be ok with giving Shape a string. I think you are right that it can be done like you propose. It may not have come to my attention, because I didn't see that import flaw that you showed.

Thanks for reporting this. I will test it some more and may release a fix soon.
