mypy

The MyPy Python type checker (http://mypy-lang.org/).

Backend: ``

Config section: [mypy]

Basic options​

args​

--mypy-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_MYPY_ARGS
pants.toml
[mypy]
args = [
    <shell_str>,
    <shell_str>,
    ...,
]
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to mypy, e.g. --mypy-args="--python-version 3.7 --disallow-any-expr"

skip​

--[no-]mypy-skip
PANTS_MYPY_SKIP
pants.toml
[mypy]
skip = <bool>
default: False

Don't use MyPy when running /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants typecheck.

Advanced options​

config​

--mypy-config=<file_option>
PANTS_MYPY_CONFIG
pants.toml
[mypy]
config = <file_option>
default: None

Path to a config file understood by MyPy (https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config_file.html).

Setting this option will disable [mypy].config_discovery. Use this option if the config is located in a non-standard location.

config_discovery​

--[no-]mypy-config-discovery
PANTS_MYPY_CONFIG_DISCOVERY
pants.toml
[mypy]
config_discovery = <bool>
default: True

If true, Pants will include any relevant config files during runs (mypy.ini, .mypy.ini, and setup.cfg).

Use [mypy].config instead if your config is in a non-standard location.

console_script​

--mypy-console-script=<str>
PANTS_MYPY_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
pants.toml
[mypy]
console_script = <str>
default: mypy

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

entry_point​

--mypy-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_MYPY_ENTRY_POINT
pants.toml
[mypy]
entry_point = <str>
default: None

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

extra_requirements​

--mypy-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_MYPY_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
pants.toml
[mypy]
extra_requirements = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: []

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

interpreter_constraints​

--mypy-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_MYPY_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[mypy]
interpreter_constraints = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "CPython>=3.6"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

source_plugins​

--mypy-source-plugins="[<target_option>, <target_option>, ...]"
PANTS_MYPY_SOURCE_PLUGINS
pants.toml
[mypy]
source_plugins = [
    <target_option>,
    <target_option>,
    ...,
]
default: []

An optional list of python_library target addresses to load first-party plugins.

You must also set plugins = path.to.module in your mypy.ini, and set the [mypy].config option in your pants.toml.

To instead load third-party plugins, set the option [mypy].extra_requirements and set the plugins option in mypy.ini.

version​

--mypy-version=<str>
PANTS_MYPY_VERSION
pants.toml
[mypy]
version = <str>
default: mypy==0.812

Requirement string for the tool.

Deprecated options​
