[Python] Mypy complaining about [no-any-return] rule being violated for obvious boolean...

The following code throws a mypy error:

from typing import Dict, Any

def asd(x: Dict[str, Any]) -> bool:
return x['a'] == 1

asd({"x": 2})


IMO it doesn't matter what is passed as a dict. x['a'] == 1 should always be a boolean. But mypy complains with:

test.py:4: error: Returning Any from function declared to return "bool" [no-any-return]


Any Idea how to fix is besides peppering our codebase with # type: ignore[no-any-return]?

my setup.cfg for reference:

namespace_packages = True
explicit_package_bases = True
check_untyped_defs = True
warn_return_any = True
warn_unused_ignores = True
show_error_codes = True
