Hi,
I have a question/bug that may be related to this bug and to this pep-0561 but I am using mypy maybe this is the right place to ask-
I have two modules/package:
- A with inline typing information - it is an internal package and it won't probably be open source. We distribute package A with an internal pipy server.
- Module B uses module A and wants to make use of A typing information.
Installing the package:
If I do: pip install A or using python setup.py develop / pip install -e . and then try to check with mypy files from module B that import module A I get the message:
B/foo.py:14: error: Cannot find module named `A`
B/foo.py:14: note: (Perhaps setting MYPYPATH or using the "--ignore-missing-imports" flag would help)
In my case I don't want to use --ignore-missing-imports as module A has type annotations.
I could use MYPYPATH but that would mean that I have to set it for each of my internal packages that contain type annotation.
So the question:
Is there a recommended way to distribute type annotation for non-opensource libraries that mypy can automatically use it?
