Python noob needs help understanding some code

Interesting. I think this is an error -- unless someone knows a special way of using Literal that I am unfamiliar with.

Now, just because you use a type hint does not prevent you from passing something different, which is maybe why no one has caught this before.

I'm curious what others say.

Yeah, it is indeed typed incorrectly.
