Package: python3-mypy
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
When mypy notices missing stubs for a package that has stubs on typeshed, it
currently writes something like:
utils/imgtools.py:17: error: Library stubs not installed for "PIL" [import]
utils/imgtools.py:17: note: Hint: "python3 -m pip install types-Pillow"
utils/imgtools.py:17: note: (or run "mypy --install-types" to install all
missing stub packages)
utils/imgtools.py:17: note: See
https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#missing-imports
-- both recommendations are arguably wrong when the package-installed mypy runs
(and hence it stands to reason that it's the Debian-managed python running).
So, perhaps this message could be changed to
Hint: On Debian systems, you can install the python3-typeshed package to
provide mypy with stubs for many popular libraries. In virtual python
environments, you can instead run mypy --install-types for upstream stubs.
or something similar?
