Hello I am trying to type hint lxml return types, using the types-lxml library.

def parse_xml(path: str) -> etree._ElementTree:
    return etree.parse(path)


def components(path: str) -> List[etree._Element]:
    return parse_xml(path).xpath("/node1/node2")

But mypy complains on the second function saying:

error: Returning Any from function declared to return "List[_Element]"  [no-any-return]

Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks.
