Bug Report

mypy.nodes.get_member_expr_fullname formats a MemberExpr into a dotted-name string if possible, or returns None if formatting the MemberExpr in that way is not possible (i.e. it contains expressions other than names and attribute accesses).

Sometimes when a dotted-name representation is not possible, it will return a string with an embedded "None" (e.g. "None.a.b.c") instead of returning None.

Encountered when reviewing #17178

To Reproduce

from mypy.nodes import CallExpr, MemberExpr, NameExpr, get_member_expr_fullname

m1 = MemberExpr(MemberExpr(NameExpr("a"), "b"), "c")                        # a.b.c
m2 = MemberExpr(CallExpr(NameExpr("a"), [], [], []), "b")                   # a().b
m3 = MemberExpr(MemberExpr(CallExpr(NameExpr("a"), [], [], []), "b"), "c")  # a().b.c

>>> get_member_expr_fullname(m1)
'a.b.c'
>>> get_member_expr_fullname(m2) is None
True
>>> get_member_expr_fullname(m3)
'None.c'  # uh oh! expected None
