Hello, My name is Ilya, I develop pytest integration in PyCharm IDE.
There is a PEP-484 that covers optional type hinting for Python an PEP-561 that describes how to distribute this information as separate package with .pyi files (also called stubs). Type hinting is huge benefit for any static analysis tool. At this moment it is suported by mypy (http://mypy-lang.org/) and PyCharm. My question is do you have any plans to create pyi stubs for pytest? .pyi will improve code insight / code completion in PyCharm and give users ability to validate their code with mypy. We can create this package by ourselves (physically we create pytest-subs package on pypi, see PEP-561) but at least we need approvement from pytest devs, and any contributions are welcome) Creating pyi files is not hard, and they could be used by any PEP-561 compatible project. Ilya.
