Crash in check_mapping when items() is a generator

[Kakadus]

Things to check first

• I have searched the existing issues and didn't find my bug already reported there

• I have checked that my bug is still present in the latest release

Typeguard version

4.1.5

Python version

3.10 / 3.11

What happened?

Using django's MultiValueDictcauses a crash because its .items() is a Generator. See django source.

check_mapping passes this generator to typeguard._config.CollectionCheckStrategy.iterate_samples:

typeguard/src/typeguard/_checkers.py

Lines 220 to 222 in 128909a

	samples = memo.config.collection_check_strategy.iterate_samples(
	value.items()
	)

This crashes it here, because generators have no len():

typeguard/src/typeguard/_config.py

Lines 52 to 59 in 128909a

	def iterate_samples(self, collection: Collection[T]) -> Collection[T]:
	if self is CollectionCheckStrategy.FIRST_ITEM:
	if len(collection):
	return [next(iter(collection))]
	else:
	return ()
	else:
	return collection

How can we reproduce the bug?

Here is a minimal sample example. You can replace GeneratorDict with django's MultiValueDict to get the same result.

from typeguard import typechecked


@typechecked
def a(b: dict[str, list[str]]):
   ...


class GeneratorDict(dict):
    def items(self):
        for key in self:
            yield key, self[key]


a(GeneratorDict())

Running this code causes the following backtrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
