I've tried to declare two classes @dataclass class Base: __slots__ = ('x',) x: Any @dataclass class Derived(Base): x: int y: int As long as I correctly understood PEP 557 (inheritance part), changing type of variable is possible. This code produce error: TypeError: non-default argument 'y' follows default argument 'x' variable in Derived class has changed default from MISSING to member_descriptor and that's the reason of the exception.

This is the same reason that this fails: class Base: __slots__ = ('x',) x = 3 with: ValueError: 'x' in __slots__ conflicts with class variable In the dataclasses case, the error needs to be improved, and moved to when the base class is being defined.

I don't really get your point. @dataclass class Base: __slots__ = ('x',) x: Any This case is described in PEP 557 as correct, so I don't understand why you want to generate error. Also inheritance without defining slots is correct as stated in data model. In my opinion, member_descriptor should be treated same as MISSING and everything should work correctly.

My point is that the problem is that after: @dataclass class Base: __slots__ = ('x',) x: Any Base.x has a value (it's the member_descriptor for x). That's what's causing the problem that when adding a field to the derived class, it thinks you're adding a field without a default value after one that has a default value. I agree that I could detect this specific case and allow it. My comment about the error message was inaccurate.

There's also another major problem. Because Base.x has value, __init__ is not prepared correctly (member_descriptor is passed as default). @dataclass class Base: __slots__ = ('x',) x: Any Base() # No TypeError exception Fixing this should be quite easy, if you want I can prepare PR.

Thanks, but I'm already looking at this in the context of a different bug.
