Hello,
I've updated PEP 561 to clarify that any installed stub package should supersede an installed inline package. In other words if there is:
/global/site-packages/pkg/ /user/site-packages/pkg-stubs/
Even if pkg in the global site packages is found first and marks that it supports types, the stub package should supersede it.
I also point to mypy's docs on its implementation of the PEP (which can be read about here: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installed_packages. html). The implementation has been merged into master and will be available in the 0.590 release.
This clarification totally makes sense for me. I could easily imagine a scenario where are third party provides more advanced/precise/detailed types for a package that already supports typing. Also thanks for writing the implementation, hopefully, this PEP will be accepted soon and it will solve one of the major problems in typing ecosystem. -- Ivan
