Incompatible return type for wrappers around ParamSpec-generics #12276

Bug Report

When creating a helper function around a ParamSpec-based generic I recently stumbled upon a spurious "Incompatible return value type" error.

Mypy seems to (internally) represent CustomCallable[~P]-parametrized generics as CustomCallable[Callable[P, None]] instead of just CustomCallable[P]. This internal representation can be exposed in certain situations though, resulting in false positives such as in the example below.

To Reproduce

from collections.abc import Callable
from typing import Generic, Any
from typing_extensions import ParamSpec

P = ParamSpec("P")


class CustomCallable(Generic[P]):
    def __init__(self, func: Callable[P, Any]) -> None: ...
    def __call__(self, *args: P.args, **kwargs: P.kwargs) -> None: ...


def func(func: Callable[P, Any]) -> CustomCallable[P]:
    # error: Incompatible return value type (got "CustomCallable[Callable[P, None]]", expected "CustomCallable[P]")
    return CustomCallable(func)

Your Environment
