Warning · Non-blocking recommendation
t[True:False] and t[2:1:None] still infer an unbounded tuple instead of tuple[()]. Normalize literal booleans as integer bounds, treat an explicit None step like an omitted step, and add regression assertions for both cases.

Warning · Non-blocking recommendation
tuple13.py already owns tuple slice-expression coverage, including empty and reversed slices. Move these cases there and remove the additional sample registration so the behavior remains specified in one place.

When this change is vendored into Pylance, update its parallel async tuple evaluator as well; it still has the old reversed-bound guard and would otherwise diverge. |

Summary
Fixes type evaluation of fixed-length tuple slicing when
start >= stop(e.g.t[2:1],t[-1:-2],t[5:1]).In Python runtime, slicing a tuple with
start >= stopproduces an empty tuple()of length 0.Previously,
getSlicedTupleTypereturnedundefinedwheneverendValue < startValue. WhengetSlicedTupleTypereturnedundefined, Pyright fell back to evaluatingtuple.__getitem__(slice), which degraded the inferred type of a fixed-length heterogeneous tuple slice (such ast[2:1]wheret: tuple[int, str, bool]) to an unbounded union typetuple[int | str | bool, ...].Behavior Change
Pyright now correctly evaluates fixed-length tuple slicing with
start >= stopto an empty tuple typetuple[()].Implementation Details
In
packages/pyright-internal/src/analyzer/tuples.ts,getSlicedTupleTypeno longer returnsundefinedwhenendValue < startValue. Instead, it checksstartValue < endValueand uses an empty array[]whenstartValue >= endValue, which cleanly specializes totuple[()].Validation
tuple20.pyand test caseTuple20intypeEvaluator8.test.ts.packages/pyright-internal(npm run test): 24 test suites passed (798 passed, 0 failed).npm run check): 4 packages typechecked cleanly with 0 errors.git diff --check: 0 issues found.
