Python-3.5 typing.Generic subclass never calls `__init__`

Question

In the code below, I have a subclass Generic. If I try to create an instance after directly specifying the type (as in the case Bar), it seems like it is __init__never called. See below steps in PDB.

from typing import Generic, TypeVar

T = TypeVar('T')
class Foo(Generic[T]):
    def __init__(self, value: T):
        self.value = value

Bar = Foo[str]

foo = Foo('foo')
bar = Bar('bar')

print(type(foo), end=' ')
print(foo.value)

print(type(bar), end=' ')
print(bar.value) # AttributeError

According to the docs:

The base base class uses a metaclass that defines getitem (), so LoggedVar [t] is valid as a type:

Is this a mistake, or am I not understanding something?

EDIT

Going to the PDB for the case of Foo ('foo'), note __init__called at the end:

Continuing, we now fall into the case Bar('bar'). A note is __init__not called even though everything else looks the same.

:

• main.Foo < ~ T > foo
• main.Foo < ~ T > bar
