Error parsing annotation: 'type' object is not subscriptable about pdoc

[mhils]

Where did you learn about this tk.Event[tk.Text] syntax?

This is not a pdoc bug, this is an issue with tkinter or with the annotation: If you open a Python shell and run tk.Event[tk.Text], you will get the same error. It's only due to from __future__ import annotations that you don't get errors when running your Python program.

I saw it while using VS Code, and the mypy extension.

When hovering over a function, it showed a tooltip with the function signature, and all the parameters with their types. I think it's a feature of the Pylance extension to show the tooltips like this. One of them showed Event[Text]. See screenshot below for an example.

Adding it to my code allowed mypy to type check the inner members of an expression, like event.widget.tag_nextrange(), showing that tag_nextrange() is actually a method for the given widget. Since it didn't cause any issues running my code, I kept it and added it elsewhere. I was already using from __future__ import annotations to get the int | None type hinting functionality.
