pandas stubs - cast Series as float (reportGeneralTypeIssues error)

[tekumara]

Environment data

• Language Server version: v2020.7.2
• OS and version: macOS
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.6.10

Expected behaviour

No type error. At runtime this works, so I would have thought it possible to cast a Series as a float?

Actual behaviour

Argument of type "Series[Unknown]" cannot be assigned to parameter "x" of type "SupportsFloat | _SupportsIndex | str | bytes | bytearray" in function "__init__"
  "__float__" is not present
  "__index__" is not present
  "Series[Unknown]" is incompatible with "str"
  "Series[Unknown]" is incompatible with "bytes"
  "Series[Unknown]" is incompatible with "bytearray"

Code Snippet / Additional information

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series(1.0)
f = float(s)

Should be fixed in next release.
