Mypy alternatives
by Dan Stromberg Feb. 23, 2023

Feb. 23, 2023

Hello people. I've used Mypy and liked it in combination with MonkeyType. I've heard there are alternatives to Mypy that are faster, and I'm looking at using something like this on a 457,000 line project. Are there equivalents to MonkeyType that will work with these alternatives to Mypy? And has Mypy become the defacto standard for how type annotations should look? That is, are there other tools that assume Mypy's format too, and does most doc about type annotations assume Mypy's style? Thanks! PS: I sent this to python-list first five days ago, but didn't get a single reply.

What uses that callable?

Hello people. Assume you have a software system that is self-contained: you do not need to concern yourself with client code that is outside that tree (because there is none, or you arbitrarily declare it unimportant as a simplifying assumption). Is there a tool for Python that can assess whether a given function (or list of functions, method or list of methods) is used or not, within that source tree? grep, which is what I've been using, only goes so far. It finds comments, and it finds methods by name independent of what class they are associated with. I have a feeling there are IDE's that do this. These I'm interested in, but I'm a bit more interested in standalone tools apart from a GUI. Thanks.
