🔒 multiprocessing Event type hint

[fluid sun]

I'm trying to properly type hint this argument but Pylance is getting upset at it being a variable. I'm using the multiprocessing library built into Python. What is the correct way to do this type hint?

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

from multiprocessing import Event, Process

its imported like this

[arctic plover]

can you show more of your code for context

[fluid sun]

def start_frida_server(event: Event) -> None:
    """..."""

function is just barebones rn, what do you want to see specifically?

    Process(
        target=start_frida_server,
        args=(event,),
    ).start()

its called like this

event = Event()

with event being defined like this

you can try something like

from multiprocessing.synchronize import Event as EventClass
``` that's where the class is

the normal import points to Event = context._default_context.Event

that's why it's a "variable"

that worked, and also fixed pylance not being able to figure out the methods. thank you!

[steep pond]

just keep in mind that when you import Event the first way, it gets initialised via

    def Event(self):
        '''Returns an event object'''
        from .synchronize import Event
        return Event(ctx=self.get_context())
``` I'm not sure why, so I would avoid doing `from multiprocessing.synchronize import Event` as a replacement for the initial import

[fluid sun]

yea it doesnt work properly if i replace the whole thing

so i just imported both ,one to use, one to hint

[steep pond]

sounds good

Just for the exercise I went:

>>> from multiprocessing import Event
>>> type(Event)
<class 'method'>

It's not a type.
