mypy

skip

--[no-]mypy-skip

PANTS_MYPY_SKIP

If true, don't use MyPy when running pants check.

args

--mypy-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"

PANTS_MYPY_ARGS

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

install_from_resolve

--mypy-install-from-resolve=<str>

PANTS_MYPY_INSTALL_FROM_RESOLVE

If specified, install the tool using the lockfile for this named resolve.

This resolve must be defined in [python].resolves, as described in Third-party dependencies.

The resolve's entire lockfile will be installed, unless specific requirements are listed via the requirements option, in which case only those requirements will be installed. This is useful if you don't want to invalidate the tool's outputs when the resolve incurs changes to unrelated requirements.

If unspecified, and the lockfile option is unset, the tool will be installed using the default lockfile shipped with Pants.

If unspecified, and the lockfile option is set, the tool will use the custom mypy "tool lockfile" generated from the version and extra_requirements options. But note that this mechanism is deprecated.

requirements

--mypy-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_MYPY_REQUIREMENTS

If install_from_resolve is specified, install these requirements, at the versions provided by the specified resolve's lockfile.

Values can be pip-style requirements (e.g., tool or tool==1.2.3 or tool>=1.2.3), or addresses of python_requirement targets (or targets that generate or depend on python_requirement targets).

The lockfile will be validated against the requirements - if a lockfile doesn't provide the requirement (at a suitable version, if the requirement specifies version constraints) Pants will error.

If unspecified, install the entire lockfile.

interpreter_constraints

--mypy-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_MYPY_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS

[
  "CPython>=3.7,<4"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

console_script

--mypy-console-script=<str>

PANTS_MYPY_CONSOLE_SCRIPT

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

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.

config

--mypy-config=<file_option>

PANTS_MYPY_CONFIG

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

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.

source_plugins

--mypy-source-plugins="[<target_option>, <target_option>, ...]"

PANTS_MYPY_SOURCE_PLUGINS

An optional list of python_sources 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. Tip: it's often helpful to define a dedicated 'resolve' via [python].resolves for your MyPy plugins such as 'mypy-plugins' so that the third-party requirements used by your plugin, like mypy, do not mix with the rest of your project. Read that option's help message for more info on resolves.

version

--mypy-version=<str>

PANTS_MYPY_VERSION

Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.18.0.dev1.
Custom tool versions are now installed from named resolves, as described at [Lockfiles](doc:python-lockfiles).

Requirement string for the tool.

extra_requirements

--mypy-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_MYPY_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS

Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.18.0.dev1.
Custom tool versions are now installed from named resolves, as described at [Lockfiles](doc:python-lockfiles).

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.

lockfile

--mypy-lockfile=<str>

PANTS_MYPY_LOCKFILE

Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.18.0.dev0.
Custom tool versions are now installed from named resolves, as described at [Lockfiles](doc:python-lockfiles).

1. If you have an existing resolve that includes the requirements for this tool,
   you can set `[mypy].install_from_resolve = "<resolve name>".
   This may be the case if the tool also provides a runtime library, and you want
   to specify the version in just one place.
2. If not, you can set up a new resolve as described at the link above.

Either way, the resolve you choose should provide the requirements currently set by the version and extra-requirements options for this tool, which you can see by running pants help-advanced mypy.

Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.

Set to the string <default> to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the --version and --extra-requirements options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.16.1rc4/src/python/pants/backend/python/typecheck/mypy/mypy.lock for the default lockfile contents.

Set to the string <none> to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds and supply-chain security.

To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=mypy.

Alternatively, you can set this option to the path to a custom lockfile using pip's requirements.txt-style, ideally with --hash. Set [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore' so that Pants does not complain about missing lockfile headers.

export

--[no-]mypy-export

PANTS_MYPY_EXPORT

Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.18.0.dev0.
Use the export goal's --resolve option to select tools to export, instead of using this option to exempt a tool from export-by-default.

If true, export a virtual environment with MyPy when running pants export.

This can be useful, for example, with IDE integrations to point your editor to the tool's binary.

extra_type_stubs

--mypy-extra-type-stubs="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_MYPY_EXTRA_TYPE_STUBS

Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.18.0dev0.
Extra type stubs are now installed from a named resolve, as described at [Lockfiles](doc:python-lockfiles).

Extra type stub requirements to install when running MyPy.

Normally, type stubs can be installed as typical requirements, such as putting them in requirements.txt or using a python_requirement target. Alternatively, you can use this option so that the dependencies are solely used when running MyPy and are not runtime dependencies.

NOTE: Dependencies specified in this way are not visible to dependency inference, and cannot be referenced as explicit dependencies. See check for more information about problems this can cause, and how to work around them.

Expects a list of pip-style requirement strings, like ['types-requests==2.25.9'].

We recommend also enabling [mypy].extra_type_stubs_lockfile for a more reproducible build and less supply-chain security risk.

extra_type_stubs_lockfile

--mypy-extra-type-stubs-lockfile=<str>

PANTS_MYPY_EXTRA_TYPE_STUBS_LOCKFILE

Deprecated, is scheduled to be removed in version: 2.18.0dev0.
Extra type stubs are now installed from a named resolve, as described at [Lockfiles](doc:python-lockfiles).

Path to a lockfile for the option [mypy].extra_type_stubs.

Set to the string <none> to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this if you use [mypy].extra_type_stubs, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds and supply-chain security.

To use a lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=mypy-extra-type-stubs.
