I am using a dependency that has type hints but doesn’t test them and some of them are just broken. For example:

def foo() -> object:
    return {"hello": "world"}

In my code I want to assign the output of that function to a variable that has a dict type.

from dependency import foo

myvar: dict = foo()

With this mypy gives me an error as expected.

error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "object", variable has type "dict[Any, Any]")  [assignment]

However if I try and cast it to a dict explicitly that isn’t possible either.

from dependency import foo

myvar: dict = dict(foo())

I see the following error.

error: No overload variant of "dict" matches argument type "object"  [call-overload]

What is the right way to tell mypy to ignore the broken type hint from the dependency?
