Fixes #20859.
Recent typeshed versions represent
typing.Anyas a class at runtime. When that value was passed to a parameter of typetype[T], constraint inference extracted its internaltyping.Anyinstance literally instead of treating it as the dynamicAnytype. This produced a type that displayed asAnybut was not semanticallyAny, soassert_type(foo(Any), Any)reported the confusingAnyversusAnyerror.This normalizes the
typing.Anyinstance while inferring constraints from type objects. Other class objects keep their existing instance type. The regression test uses a class-basedtyping.Anyfixture and checks bothassert_typeand the revealed inferred type.Validation:
check-classes.test: 610 passed, 1 xfailedmypycruntime tests failed because the Windows linker could not create the generated librt.expfile (LNK1104).
