Typeforceis a CLI tool that enriches your Python environment with type annotations, empoweringmypy.
In particular:
- Generates
py.typedfor annotated packages. - Installs missed stub files and plugins.
PEP-561says the following:
Package maintainers who wish to support type checking of their code MUST add a marker file named py.typed to their package supporting typing.
In practice, many maintainers don't know about this marker. So there are tons of packages that do have type annotations but don't havepy.typed.
Typeforce checks all installed third-party packages and addspy.typedinto packages that have type annotations.
One of the breaking changesmypy 0.900 introducedis moving out allstubsand plugins for third-party packages out of mypy itself. Now, stub files for every such package should be installed manually.
Typeforce scans all installed third-party packages and installs all needed stub files and plugins if available.
