Can't use module as a type defination?

[r-priyam]

from typing import Optional

import asyncpg

async def foo() -> Optional[asyncpg.Record]:  # errors here - Module cannot be used as a type
    ...

Current version - 2021.10.1 This used to work fine on version - 2021.10.0

Thanks for the bug report. This was already reported in the pyright issue tracker, and I've implemented a fix. It will be included in the next release of pylance.

Pylance version :v2021.12.2 "module cannot be used as a type" appears in List element type.

@Heroyuki, datetime is a module. I think you mean to reference the class, which is datetime.datetime.

from PIL import Image
from torchvision.transforms.functional import to_tensor
import torch

def process_PIL(pil_img: Image) -> torch.Tensor:
    pil_img = pil_img.resize((224, 224))
    pil_img = pil_img.convert("RGB")  # needed to avoid grayscale
    return to_tensor(pil_img)

I get Module cannot be used as a typePylance[reportGeneralTypeIssues](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/main/docs/configuration.md#reportGeneralTypeIssues) (module) Image

the quick fix isn't useful, how do I solve this?

@franchesoni, PIL.Image is a module, not a class. If you change your first line of code to from PIL.Image import Image, it will work fine.
