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? -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.38 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages python3-mypy depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u1 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii python3-mypy-extensions 0.4.3-4 ii python3-pkg-resources 66.1.1-1 ii python3-psutil 5.9.4-1+b1 ii python3-typing-extensions 4.4.0-1 Versions of packages python3-mypy recommends: ii python3-lxml 4.9.2-1+b1 ii python3-setuptools 66.1.1-1 python3-mypy suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
