   Generally, if you add a class, you should add all (public) fields and methods, even if they are left unannotated (or use Incomplete where that is not possible). stubgen and our scripts/create_baseline_stubs.py script do that for you. You can theoretically also use def __getitem__(self, name: str, /) -> Incomplete: ... for incomplete classes (and a few of our stubs might use that technique), but using stubgen is much preferred nowadays.

   __getattr__, not __getitem__ :)
