mypy error Class cannot subclass "Task" (has type "Any")

[philvarner]

I have code like:

class MyDatasetToStac(Task): 

That returns this error from mypy:

task.py:30: error: Class cannot subclass "Task" (has type "Any")  [misc]

The fix is to add:

class Sentinel2ToStac(Task): # type: ignore

However, it would be nice if stactask provided the correct type information so that this was not necessary.

I reviewed the issue but it's not clear how to provide type information for the class.

I wasn't able to figure out why this isn't working. The class seems to be fully-annotated and there's an empty py.typed file in the root, so typechecking should work. All of the examples I found of this not working didn't apply to our case.

This errors because of disallow-subclassing-any, and for some reason, classes extending Task think it has type Any.
