The right type is ‘object’, not ‘Any’. ‘object’ is the base class of all types: you can put anything into an ‘object’, and you can only do very generic operations like str() on what you get out of an ‘object’ without further checks like isinstance(). ‘Any’ is an unsound escape hatch that disables type checking: you can put anything into an ‘Any’, and you can do anything with what you get out of an ‘Any’, and the type checker will make no effort to stop you from doing something wrong. https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#the-any-type https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#the-any-type https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dynamic_typing.html#any-vs-object https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dynamic_typing.html#an...
