Generating bad types for py::bool_ and py::float_

[alkatar21]

I use

using PyBaseTypes = std::variant<py::bool_, py::int_, py::float_, py::str, py::bytes, py::object>;

Generated then:

typing.Union[bool_, int, float_, str, bytes, object]

I would expect:

typing.Union[bool, int, float, str, bytes, object]

I'm not quite sure if the fault is here or with pybind11.

bybind11: 2.9.0
pybind11-stubgen: 0.10.5

Thanks for report. I filed a PR to pybind11: pybind/pybind11#3622.

At the moment pybind11-stubgen does not have fine-grained type processing and operates on whole strings. Therefore the simplest "solution" like plain replacements (e.g. bool_ -> bool) on stubgen side might be harmful.

The PR is merged in pybind11 master. If you are affected by this issue consider updating to latest pybind11 version.
I'm closing this as "won't fix" due to lack readily available solution on stubgen side.
