[Python] No Pylance hints after decorating a class (Python)

I have a question about Pylance hints after decorating a class. I have a useless minimal example:

class PrimaryModel():

def print(self):
print("I am invisible ")

def mydeco(cls: PrimaryModel):
return cls

if __name__ == "__main__":

@mydeco
class User(PrimaryModel):
pass

alan = User()
alan.print() # no hints


The problem is alan.print method seems to be unknown in IDE (VS Code). (Code works fine) Now I can fix it by explicit type declaration. Here, it hints well:

class PrimaryModel():

def print(self):
print("I am invisible ")

def mydeco(cls: PrimaryModel):
return cls

if __name__ == "__main__":

@mydeco
class User(PrimaryModel):
pass

alan: PrimaryModel = User()
alan.print() # hints ok


But then, if I sublclass the User, again, no hints (uncommenting the decorator enables hints):

class PrimaryModel():

def print(self):
print("I am invisible ")

def mydeco(cls: PrimaryModel):
return cls

if __name__ == "__main__":

@mydeco
class User(PrimaryModel):
pass

class Player(User):
pass

alan: PrimaryModel = Player()
alan.print() # no hints :'(


Where is the problem? Is it too complex for Pylance to solve the type? Why it does not hint even if I explicitly declare the type? Can it be solved somehow?

I tried explicit type declaration, checking runtime type. Just did not manage to make it work.
