Bug Report
mypy respects platform conditions using sys.platform
variable, but do not recognize os.name
.
Related issue: #8166
To Reproduce
Consider this piece of code, assuming we are on Linux:
import os
import signal
if os.name == 'nt':
signal_type = signal.SIGBREAK
else:
signal_type = signal.SIGTERM
Expected Behavior
mypy should not raise any error.
Actual Behavior
mypy fails with:
main.py:5: error: Module has no attribute "SIGBREAK"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
Note that replacing os.name == 'nt'
with sys.platform == 'win32'
fixes this issue.
Environment
- Mypy version used: 0.961
- Python version used: 3.10
- Operating system: Linux
Activity
Use sys.platform over os.name
Use sys.platform over os.name

setuptools for example, has this snippet of code, which causes
error: Cannot find implementation or library stub for module named "dl" [import-not-found]
