Regression(3.2): matplotlib.widgets.CheckButtons.get_status() is no longer recognized as a list

[sam-s]

Bug description

Starting with pylint 3.2, I get not-an-iterable and unsubscriptable-object for the return value of matplotlib.widgets.CheckButtons.get_status().

Code:

"https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint/issues/9629"

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.widgets import CheckButtons

_figure, axes = plt.subplots()
buttons = CheckButtons(axes, ["a","b"])
print("".join(f"_{v}" for v in buttons.get_status()))  # not-an-iterable
print(buttons.get_status()[0])                         # unsubscriptable-object

Command used

pylint a.py

Pylint output

a.py:8:31: E1133: Non-iterable value buttons.get_status() is used in an iterating context (not-an-iterable)
a.py:9:6: E1136: Value 'buttons.get_status()' is unsubscriptable (unsubscriptable-object)

Expected behavior

no diagnostics, like in 3.1

Thanks for the report. Duplicate of #9626. I'll update the title to make that more clear.

Stay tuned for a patch release of pylint in the next few days.
