Exception when a type hint is a torch.tensor

[bot-me-not]

Take the following script saved in bug.py:

import torch

def no_likey(input: torch.tensor):
    pass

Now execute pdoc --html bug.py. An exception is raised:

I had the same problem - fixed it by changing torch.tensor to torch.Tensor. I suspect the problem is that torch.tensor is a method, not a class.

Closing because @ryansteed is correct; this was my mistake.

The crash is obviously a bug regardless of the input you fed it.
