Support type information from conditional expressions

[mrwright]

In code like the following:

from typing import *

x = {1: 2} # type: Union[Dict[int, int], str]
x.get(1, 1) if isinstance(x, dict) else 0

we should be able to figure out that x must be A Dict, but instead we get the error

dict.py:4: error: Some element of union has no attribute "get"

If there the same fix with if callable()? Because I got this:

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        # type: (Union[int, slice, Callable]) -> Union[IterableWrapper, Any]

        if isinstance(index, int):
            return at_index(self.iterator, index)

        if callable(index):
            return first_true(self.iterator, index) 

        start = index.start or 0
        step = index.step or 1
        stop = index.stop

And mypy complains that index may not have a start attribute.

I think adding this kind of logic with if callable(x): has come up before in this issue tracker. It should be easy to do (with the provision that mypy currently only understands that Callable things are callable, but not in general instances with __call__ methods; but that should be sufficient in your example).

Yeah, adding callable() is #1973. Better support for __call__ is #797.
