## Summary Resolves #14988 Display union of Literals like other type checkers do. With this change we lose the sorting behavior. And we show the types as they appeared. So it's deterministic and tests should not be flaky. This is similar to how Mypy [reveals the type](https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.12&gist=51ad03b153bfca3b940d5084345e230f). In some cases this makes it harder to know what is the order in revealed type when writing tests but since it's consistent after the test fails we know the order. ## Test Plan I adjusted mdtests for this change. Basically merged the int and string types of the unions. In cases where we have types other than numbers and strings like this [one](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/14993/files#diff-ac50bce02b9f0ad4dc7d6b8e1046d60dad919ac52d0aeb253e5884f89ea42bfeL51). We only group the strings and numbers as the issue suggsted. ``` def _(flag: bool, flag2: bool): if flag: f = 1 elif flag2: f = "foo" else: def f() -> int: return 1 # error: "Object of type `Literal[1, "foo", f]` is not callable (due to union elements Literal[1], Literal["foo"])" # revealed: Unknown | int reveal_type(f()) ``` [pyright example](https://pyright-play.net/?code=GYJw9gtgBALgngBwJYDsDmUkQWEMoAySMApiAIYA2AUNQCYnBQD6AFMJeWgFxQBGYMJQA0UDlwBMvAUICU3alCWYm4nouWamAXigBGDUpKUkqzmimHNYqLoBEwQXavGAziQXXlDVa1lQAWgA%2BTBQYTy9rEBIYAFcQFH0rAGIoMnAQXjsAeT4AKxIAY3wwJngEEigAAyJSCkoAbT1RBydRYABdKsxXKBQwfEKqTj5KStY6WMqYMChYlCQwROMSCBIw3tqyKiaO0S36htawOw7ZZ01U6IA3EioSOl4AVRQAa36Ad0SAH1CYKxud0ozHKJHYflk1CAA) [mypy example](https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.12&gist=31c8bdaa5521860cfeca4b92841cb3b7) --------- Co-authored-by: Carl Meyer <carl@oddbird.net>

Narrowing for isinstance checks
Narrowing for isinstance(object, classinfo) expressions.
classinfo is a single type
def _(flag: bool):
x = 1 if flag else "a"
if isinstance(x, int):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1]
if isinstance(x, str):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal["a"]
if isinstance(x, int):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Never
if isinstance(x, (int, object)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
classinfo is a tuple of types
Note: isinstance(x, (int, str)) should not be confused with isinstance(x, tuple[(int, str)]).
The former is equivalent to isinstance(x, int | str):
def _(flag: bool, flag1: bool, flag2: bool):
x = 1 if flag else "a"
if isinstance(x, (int, str)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
else:
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Never
if isinstance(x, (int, bytes)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1]
if isinstance(x, (bytes, str)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal["a"]
# No narrowing should occur if a larger type is also
# one of the possibilities:
if isinstance(x, (int, object)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
else:
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Never
y = 1 if flag1 else "a" if flag2 else b"b"
if isinstance(y, (int, str)):
reveal_type(y) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
if isinstance(y, (int, bytes)):
reveal_type(y) # revealed: Literal[1, b"b"]
if isinstance(y, (str, bytes)):
reveal_type(y) # revealed: Literal["a", b"b"]
classinfo is a nested tuple of types
def _(flag: bool):
x = 1 if flag else "a"
if isinstance(x, (bool, (bytes, int))):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1]
else:
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal["a"]
Class types
class A: ...
class B: ...
class C: ...
x = object()
if isinstance(x, A):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: A
if isinstance(x, B):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: A & B
else:
reveal_type(x) # revealed: A & ~B
if isinstance(x, (A, B)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: A | B
elif isinstance(x, (A, C)):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: C & ~A & ~B
else:
# TODO: Should be simplified to ~A & ~B & ~C
reveal_type(x) # revealed: object & ~A & ~B & ~C
No narrowing for instances of builtins.type
def _(flag: bool):
t = type("t", (), {})
# This isn't testing what we want it to test if we infer anything more precise here:
reveal_type(t) # revealed: type
x = 1 if flag else "foo"
if isinstance(x, t):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "foo"]
Do not use custom isinstance for narrowing
def _(flag: bool):
def isinstance(x, t):
return True
x = 1 if flag else "a"
if isinstance(x, int):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
Do support narrowing if isinstance is aliased
def _(flag: bool):
isinstance_alias = isinstance
x = 1 if flag else "a"
if isinstance_alias(x, int):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1]
Do support narrowing if isinstance is imported
from builtins import isinstance as imported_isinstance
def _(flag: bool):
x = 1 if flag else "a"
if imported_isinstance(x, int):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1]
Do not narrow if second argument is not a type
def _(flag: bool):
x = 1 if flag else "a"
# TODO: this should cause us to emit a diagnostic during
# type checking
if isinstance(x, "a"):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
# TODO: this should cause us to emit a diagnostic during
# type checking
if isinstance(x, "int"):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
Do not narrow if there are keyword arguments
def _(flag: bool):
x = 1 if flag else "a"
# error: [unknown-argument]
if isinstance(x, int, foo="bar"):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, "a"]
type[] types are narrowed as well as class-literal types
def _(x: object, y: type[int]):
if isinstance(x, y):
reveal_type(x) # revealed: int
