[New-bugs-announce] [issue43953] InitVar should not be available on a @dataclass-decorated class

[Sergei Lebedev]

New submission from Sergei Lebedev <sergei.a.lebedev at gmail.com>:

Motivating example:

>>> @dataclass
... class A:
...   x: InitVar[int] = 0
...   y: int = 1
... 
>>> a = A()
>>> a.x
0
>>> a.y
1

PEP-557 does not specify if fields annotated with InitVar[...] are available on the resulting dataclass. However, they are not part of the dataclass structure and are only used for __*init__ generation, so perhaps they shouldn't be? Wdyt?
