Bug Report

Mypy does not identify an AttributeError in match case statement

To Reproduce

fn_attr_defined.py

"""Test attr-defined false negative Mypy."""

import itertools


def check(obj: object) -> None:
    match obj:
        case itertools.chain():
            print("Chain")
        case itertools.DoesNotExist():
            print("Here there must be a attr-defined mypy error")
        case _:
            print("Default")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    check(1)
python3 fn_attr_defined.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fn_attr_defined.py", line 17, in <module>
    check(1)
    ~~~~~^^^
  File "fn_attr_defined.py", line 10, in check
    case itertools.DoesNotExist():
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'itertools' has no attribute 'DoesNotExist'

Mypy should return a attr-defined error at line case itertools.DoesNotExist():

No errors returned by Mypy
