"Invalid self argument" for numpy's iadd

[bersbersbers]

To Reproduce

from typing import Any

import numpy as np
import numpy.typing as npt

def plus1(array: npt.NDArray[np.integer[Any]]) -> None:
    array += 1

Expected Behavior

No error

Actual Behavior

error: Invalid self argument "ndarray[tuple[int, ...], dtype[integer[Any]]]" to attribute function "iadd" with type "Callable[[ndarray[tuple[int, ...], dtype[numpy.bool[builtins.bool]]], _SupportsArray[dtype[numpy.bool[builtins.bool]]] | _NestedSequence[_SupportsArray[dtype[numpy.bool[builtins.bool]]]] | builtins.bool | _NestedSequence[builtins.bool]], ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]]" [misc]

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 1.16.0
• Mypy command-line flags: none
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): none
• Python version used: 3.13.2
• Numpy version used: 2.2.6

Is it wrong to use union as follows?

import numpy as np
import numpy.typing as npt

from typing import Any


def plus1(array: npt.NDArray[np.uint8 | np.int8]) -> npt.NDArray[np.uint8 | np.int8]:
    return array + 1

It wouldn't be wrong necessarily, if I enumerated all possible integer types. Question is, why should I need to do that, considering that np.integer exists? :)

I also tried this, with varying success:

from typing import Any

import numpy as np
import numpy.typing as npt

# works
def plus1a(array: npt.NDArray[np.signedinteger[Any]]) -> None:
    array += 1


# works
def plus1b(array: npt.NDArray[np.unsignedinteger[Any]]) -> None:
    array += 1


# fails
def plus1c(array: npt.NDArray[np.signedinteger[Any] | np.unsignedinteger[Any]]) -> None:
    array += 1


# fails
def plus1d(array: npt.NDArray[np.integer[Any]]) -> None:
    array += 1

It's defined as follows in the numpy stubs:

@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[np.bool], other: _ArrayLikeBool_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(
    self: NDArray[unsignedinteger[Any]],
    other: _ArrayLikeUInt_co | _IntLike_co,
    /,
) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[signedinteger[Any]], other: _ArrayLikeInt_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[float64], other: _ArrayLikeFloat_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[floating[Any]], other: _ArrayLikeFloat_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[complex128], other: _ArrayLikeComplex_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[complexfloating[Any]], other: _ArrayLikeComplex_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[timedelta64], other: _ArrayLikeTD64_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[datetime64], other: _ArrayLikeTD64_co, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...
@overload
def __iadd__(self: NDArray[object_], other: Any, /) -> ndarray[_ShapeT_co, _DType_co]: ...

So since there is no self: integer, self: number, or self: generic, mypy rejects this call to __iadd__. Mypy 1.15.0 and 1.16.0 behave in the same way, so this is not a mypy regression or something.

It's worth noting that pyright does not reject this. I'm guessing that it falls back to __add__ if the overloads of __iadd__ are exhausted.

But even so, I agree that your example should be accepted by all type-checkers. I'll try to get this fixed before the upcoming numpy 2.3 release, but it might not make it in time (2.3 is about to be released).

@jorenham thanks for taking care of this. Just one bit:

Mypy 1.15.0 and 1.16.0 behave in the same way

I disagree at least partially - at least in my code base, this issue started appearing after 1.16.0 was released, and going back to 1.15.0 fixes it. Maybe my MWE above also triggers something in 1.15, but something definitely changed with 1.16.

This will be fixed in the upcoming numpy 2.3.0 release.
