[Bug]: TypeError: Cannot instantiate typing.Any

[nikitos]

Steps to reproduce

in pw.io.http.rest_connector if no schema was provided default is:

pathway/python/pathway/io/http/_server.py

Line 832 in 6bcee7e

schema = pw.schema_builder({"query": pw.column_definition()})

but deserialising is imposible to typing.Any here:

pathway/python/pathway/io/http/_server.py

Line 479 in 6bcee7e

exact_type = unoptionalize(dtype).typehint

Relevant log output

ERROR:root:Failed to cast column 'query' to type 'typing.Any'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/nikitos/.pyenv/versions/pathway3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pathway/io/http/_server.py", line 480, in _cast_types_to_schema
    payload[column] = exact_type(payload[column])
  File "/Users/nikitos/.pyenv/versions/3.10.19/lib/python3.10/typing.py", line 387, in __call__
    raise TypeError(f"Cannot instantiate {self!r}")
TypeError: Cannot instantiate typing.Any

What did you expect to happen?

i temporary use this hack, but not sure is it right: payload[column] = payload[column] if exact_type == typing.Any else exact_type(payload[column])
