I have made things!
The type for the attribute does not match what the
get_serializer_class
function returns.Thus, modifying it to match so that the truthy type of it is
type[BaseSerializer[_MT_co]]
Unfortunately this doesn't solve the issue of projects programmatically returning different serializers in
get_serializer_class
such that one option would be:return self.serializer_class
such that it would be technically incompatible with the typing. But that seems outside the scope of this change and there are other ways to accomplish it (e.g. holding known serializer classes in adict
on the class as an attribute).Related issues
