The single quote token implies the value is a string. Assert this to be

The assertion is correct, but I wonder why mypy needs it.  Can you help?


The lexer value can also be True/False (Maybe None? I forget) based on

Yes, None for tokens like '{'.

the Token returned. Here, since the token was the single quote, we know
that value must be a string.

Mypy has no insight into the correlation between the Token itself and
the token value, because that relationship is not expressed via the type
system.

I understand that mypy can't prove implications like if self.tok == "'",
then self.val is a str.

What I'm curious about is why key needs to be known to be str here.
Hmm, is it so return expr type-checks once you add -> OrderedDict[str,
object] to the function?


Oh, yes.
