Update the type hinting for core.py #39

Merged

As core.py is the foundation for the whole of Gymnasium, it should have good type hinting to help users understand the expected types for functions.

This PR fills the gaps in the implementation where type hints were currently missing.

One of the things not done in this PR is to make this require pyright strict type hinting to enforce a number of type hinting specifications that are not applied currently to the project

Edit: I have added ABC and abstractmethod to Env, Wrapper, Env.step, Env.reset

Not necessarily true - consider the wrappers that discretize actions, or add pixel observations

Added a bunch of extra comments.

And as a general note, please do keep the PRs a bit more atomic, or better described. A PR that only updates the type hints (as per the PR title) should have no reason to touch the tests whatsoever. If this were two separate PRs, one with types, and another with everything that affects tests, then we'd have one part that's safe to quickly review and merge, and then another part that needs careful review. Now, everything needs careful review.

So this is something I've been contemplating for some time, whether Env should be an ABC, and I was always leaning more towards "No". It kind of is, and kind of isn't. Notice that, for example, Env.reset isn't in fact an abstract method because it does have some logic in it. In general, ABCs are meant to be empty skeletons, but we have a good chunk of built-in implementations. So I'm still kinda on the fence, and crucially I'm not 100% sure what runtime implications this has exactly.

Agreed with most of what you say, I thought this was a feature that I removed when re-adding python 3.6 support openai/gym#2836 so was re-add however that is false.

I think we either make Env, Env.reset and Env.step all abstract or none of them. This is primarily due to Env.step being a true abstract method unlike Env.reset. This makes me think that we don't need this change and should revert.

Do you agree?

Yep, I'd keep it non-abstract altogether. I'd also strongly consider moving towards asking env developers to call super().step(action) and similarly for all the other methods, but this would be a relatively complex procedure that I don't have sufficient justification and motivation to push for at the moment.

That makes sense and agree that super().step(action) could work but there isn't much good reasons for it other than we do it for reset

@RedTachyon Removing the ABC and abstractmethod allowed me to revert most of the changes to other files.

I have kept the changes to test_core.py as I thought that the tests before did not do a good job testing the base implementations (I actually found a weird bug). Let me know if you want it reverted back or more comments on the tests added.

The only major changes to before is two new TypeVars WrapperObsType and WrapperActType. These allow us to have more complete types by differentiating between the wrapped environment types and the wrappers actual types. I believe this implementation is correct but due to Pyright having checks disabled we can't know for certain.
This is probably the motivation needed to fix the pyright properties.

Added a few, mostly minor comments. The biggest thing is probably the tests, since there's technically a chance that this introduces a bug/breaking behavior that sneaks past because the corresponding test is removed.

I'm not entirely sure about this, it's out of scope, and seems like a guardrail that's not necessarily needed.

This was a guardrail that already existed, but it was bugged so didn't work. I had to modify this function to re-add it such that the correct error occurred.

We could replace it with a warning? I added it to gym a couple of months ago as I thought I had found a bug, but what was accurately happening was that I was using the wrapper _np_random not the environment _np_random which took me about an hour + to solve. Therefore, I proposed this solution. I guess the issue is that wrappers could modify the reproducibility of an environment using the environment rng not the wrapper rng however in this case, the wrapper could use its own rng with a different variable name. Thoughts?

I think it's fine for now, we can reconsider this guardrail in general in the future

I'm still a bit hesitant about removing the existing tests.

Are these tests redundant now? Do they fail with the new changes? (if so, that's a potential problem) Are they 100% replaced with the new tests?

I'd lean towards keeping them in, and just adding new tests instead. And if some tests turn out to be unnecessary, we can remove them separately with no other changes.

Ok, I will keep both then and we can decide what tests to keep later then

Looks good overall. I'm wondering if we should maybe make env.spec mandatory so we can omit all the assert self.spec is not None, but within the scope of typing, this can be merged
