The change itself looks find to me, but its not clear that changing this is the right thing to do. As a general note we're removing old explicit logic and tests rather than just fixing a bug. I didn't notice any discussion of the issue on the mailing list or otherwise. Feel free to direct me if I missed it.

Some people see this as a bug, see example in the issue linked above. Also this code was a bug magnet because it needs to use issubclass() which is prohibited for various special types.

@gvanrossum Sorry for being annoying, but if we want to get this in 3.7 we only have time until Monday. Could you please briefly take a look at this PR?

gvanrossum · 2018-05-17T00:40:31Z

No worries. I'll try to review later today.

A few nits about tests; the substance of the code LGTM. (Nice that it was such a clear separate bit of code. :-)

-        self.assertEqual(u, object)
+        u1 = Union[int, object]
+        u2 = Union[object, int]
+        self.assertEqual(u1, u2)


Maybe also assert that it isn't object?

        u = Union[Employee, Manager]
-        self.assertIs(u, Employee)
+        self.assertIsNot(u, Employee)


Can you check that Employee and Manager are both members of the union?

    def test_union_generalization(self):
        self.assertFalse(Union[str, typing.Iterable[int]] == str)
        self.assertFalse(Union[str, typing.Iterable[int]] == typing.Iterable[int])
-        self.assertTrue(Union[str, typing.Iterable] == typing.Iterable)


How about a more positive test of the expected members?

@gvanrossum Thanks for review! I addressed all comments, plus I think there is one important point to add: this change breaks semantics of __eq__, now Union[Manager, Employee] != Employee. I can tweak __eq__, but the problem is that generics are cashed, so after once writing List[Employee], then writing List[Union[Manager, Employee]] will return List[Employee] thus again effectively simplifying a union.

Sorry, the tenses are confusing. Is the problem with List[Union[Manager, Employee]] returning List[Employee] happening with this version of the PR or would that happen if you "tweaked" __eq__?

Honestly given that we don't simplify unions I think it's right that Union[Manager, Employee] != Employee.

gvanrossum · 2018-05-18T04:15:46Z

Also I think this requires a news item.

OK, This is what happens with this PR, the problem I described would will appear only if I will tweak __eq__.

Also I think this requires a news item.

OK, I will add it.

asyncio failures are unrelated/flakes.

ilevkivskyi · 2018-05-18T14:14:50Z

I will close and re-open to trigger AppVeyor.

You have to merge this manually because the VSTS tests always fail (they are non-blocking, but Miss Islington doesn't know).
