Update ResponseT type alias

[willfrey]

Pyright treats explicit and implicit Any differently, with implicit Any being treated as Unknown. Pyright raised a warning indicating an unknown member type for 'Awaitable' when used in 'ResponseT'. Using the incr method as an example, the warning is:

"warning: Type of 'incr' is partially unknown
 Type of 'incr' is '(name: bytes | str | memoryview, amount: int = 1) -> (Awaitable[Unknown] | Any)' (reportUnknownMemberType)"

By explicitly specifying 'Awaitable[Any]' in the union for 'ResponseT', this resolves the ambiguity about the member type.

@willfrey Thanks for this!

Would you mind sharing how you ran pyright? I gave it a quick try, and was surprised to actually see many errors. I'm trying to spot the one you mention in this PR. Thanks!

Hi @gerzse! I'd be happy to. I'm using a [tool.pyright] section in my pyproject.toml file to configure Pyright but you can also use a pyrightconfig.json file.

[tool.pyright]
typeCheckingMode = "standard"
reportUnknownVariableType = "warning"

This should trigger the warning above (and probably more!)

For some extra context, Mypy treats Awaitable as Awaitable[Any] but Pyright treats explicit and implicit Any differently, where implicit Any becomes Unknown. A similar type of warning/error can be triggered with Mypy by setting enabling disallow_any_generics setting. This will have Mypy complain when generics are left without an explicit annotation, such as Awaitable vs Awaitable[Any].

Thanks @willfrey , it worked as you suggested. Plenty of things to fix overall... Thanks for pointing in the right direction.
