Python typing is not working well

[wernerdaehn]

Example: Creating the Avro Serializer
Following the example at https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python/blob/master/examples/avro_producer.py

the IDE (Visual Studio Code) shows the parameter names as invalid.

The reason why is obvious when looking at the source code of confluent.avro.

It does not have an def __init__(...) but

    def __init_impl(
        self,
        schema_registry_client: SchemaRegistryClient,
        schema_str: Union[str, Schema, None] = None,
        to_dict: Optional[Callable[[object, SerializationContext], dict]] = None,
        conf: Optional[dict] = None,
        rule_conf: Optional[dict] = None,
        rule_registry: Optional[RuleRegistry] = None
    ):

and assigns the method at class level

__init__ = __init_impl

Not good.

I agree. We have a working branch for a proper typing pass. We'll take a look at this specific example as we get it to a merge state after async support is finished.
