Thanks. Maybe the MyPy FAQ is just out-of-date? It includes this Q&A:
All of my code is still in Python 2. What are my options?
Mypy currently supports Python 3 syntax. Python 2 support is still
in early stages of development. However, Python 2 support will be
improving. Mypy includes a custom codec that lets you use Python 3
function annotations in Python 2 code. The codec just removes the
annotations before bytecode compilation.
Unless I misread the first couple sentences of the answer, it seems
that it can't actually grok Python 2 code. I'm not sure what to make
of the statement about a "custom codec" and how that would relate to
function annotations.
