Type error: sys.version_info == (3, 4)

[elazarg]

I have tried changing the signature of object.__eq__ to (T, T)->bool, and mypy warns about the comparison in importlib/abc.pyi:

    if sys.version_info == (3, 4):

_version_info subtypes Tuple[int, int, int, str, int] and can never be equal to (3, 4).

>>> from sys import version_info
>>> version_info
sys.version_info(major=3, minor=4, micro=3, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
>>> version_info == (3, 4)
False

I think the generic signature is helpful, even though it's overly restrictive.

I don't understand what you're trying to say, unless you just mean that the code in importlib/abc.pyi is wrong -- it should be if sys.version_info[:2] == (3, 4):.

[elazarg]

Yes, that's what I mean.
(I also wanted to add the note about generic __eq__)

Can you submit a PR to fix the bug here?
