Your naming convention is probably better than mine is in #8817 though.

Sorry folks, I don't think I can merge this. Mypy is painful enough to please (and I'll probably have to disable it entirely anyway), but I just really don't have any bandwidth to support all type-checkers out there :/

Is there a recommended/official torchvision stubs project ? Because type checking python is crucial to my applications.

[NicolasHug]

There is none, sorry

By the way, why is the type var restricted using positional arguments instead of using a bound=TVTensor

I intended to make the typehints explicit. Yet your comment actually made me rethink the implementation. But to actually return the correct type, it would need covariant=True. mypy then throws a Cannot use a covariant type variable as a parameter [misc]. However, in this case, it would be another false-positive according to my understanding. So ignoring it would provide a more generic version.
Therefore i pushed the current version. Please correct me, if my understanding of TypeVar is wrong
