# Mypy path symlinks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory stores symlinks to standard library modules and packages
|
||
|
|
that are fully type-annotated and ready to be used in type checking of
|
||
|
|
the rest of the stdlib or Tools/ and so on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to most of the standard library being untyped, we prefer not to
|
||
|
|
point mypy directly at `Lib/` for type checking. Additionally, mypy
|
||
|
|
as a tool does not support shadowing typing-related standard libraries
|
||
|
|
like `types`, `typing`, and `collections.abc`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So instead, we set `mypy_path` to include this directory,
|
||
|
|
which only links modules and packages we know are safe to be
|
||
|
|
type-checked themselves and used as dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See `Lib/_pyrepl/mypy.ini` for an example.
