No, PyCharm has its own annotation checker, which is much more lenient than mypy (and less compliant with PEP 484). And indeed the runtime checkers are also unrelated (though a runtime checker will have to work with the type objects created by typing.py).

So as long as you are not expecting to ever need mypy you should be fine -- however if you're sharing code at some point someone is probably going to want to point mypy at it.

This does not seem to happen with PyCharm IDE + Anaconda distribution. Is PyCharm relying on MyPy under the hood ?

I actually have no knowledge at all about MyPy and how it relates to PyCharm static code analysis warnings. I’m pretty sure though that the runtime checkers (enforce, pytypes) are not dependent on MyPy.

I am mystified how you can be using the numbers package with mypy. Example:

import numbers
def f(a: numbers.Integral, b: numbers.Integral) -> numbers.Integral:
  return a + b
f(12, 12)

This gives an two errors on the last line when checked by mypy:

_.py:10: error: Argument 1 to "f" has incompatible type "int"; expected "Integral"
_.py:10: error: Argument 2 to "f" has incompatible type "int"; expected "Integral"

The main use case I had in mind was PEP484-based type hinting/checking actually:

 

def my_function(foo: Boolean):

    pass

 

explicitly states that my_function accepts any Boolean value, whether it is a python bool or a np.bool that would come from a numpy array or pandas dataframe.

Note that type hinting is also the use case for which I make extensive use of the types from the ‘numbers’ package, for the same reasons.

I'm not sure I'm convinced by Sylvain that Boolean needs to be an ABC in the standard library; Guido expresses skepticism.  Of course it is possible to define it in some other library that actually needs to use `isinstance(x, Boolean)` as Sylvain demonstraits in his post.  I'm not sure I'm unconvinced either, I can see a certain value to saying a given value is "fully round-trippable to bool" (as is np.bool_).

 

But just for anyone who doesn't know NumPy, here's a quick illustration of what I alluded to:

 

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: arr = np.array([7,8,12,33])

In [3]: ndx1 = np.array([0,1,1,0], dtype=int)

In [4]: ndx2 = np.array([0,1,1,0], dtype=bool)

In [5]: arr[ndx1]

Out[5]: array([7, 8, 8, 7])

In [6]: arr[ndx2]

Out[6]: array([ 8, 12])

 

ndx1 and ndx2 are both nice things (and are both often programmatically constructed by operations in NumPy).  But indexing using ndx1 gives us an array of the things in the listed positions in arr.  In this case, we happen to choose two each of the things an index 0 and index 1 in the result.

 

Indexing by ndx2 gives us a filter of only those positions in arr corresponding to 'True's.  These are both nice things to be able to do, but if NumPy's True was a special kind of 1, it wouldn't work out unambiguously.  However, recent versions of NumPy have gotten a bit smarter about recognizing the special type of Python bools, so it's less of a trap than it used to be.  Still, contrast these (using actual Python lists for the indexes:

 

In [10]: arr[[False, True, True, False]]

Out[10]: array([ 8, 12])

In [11]: arr[[False, True, 1, 0]]

Out[11]: array([7, 8, 8, 7])

collections.abc.Sequence and collections.abc.Mapping come to mind -
the standard library doesn't tend to distinguish between different
kinds of subscriptable objects, but it's a distinction some third
party libraries and tools want to be able to make reliably.

The other comparison that comes to mind would be the distinction
between "__int__" ("can be coerced to an integer, but may lose
information in the process") and "__index__" ("can be losslessly
converted to and from a builtin integer").

Right now, we only define boolean coercion via "__bool__" - there's no
mechanism to say "this *is* a boolean value that can be losslessly
converted to and from the builtin boolean constants". That isn't a
distinction the standard library makes, but it sounds like it's one
that NumPy cares about (and NumPy was also the main driver for
introducing __index__).

Cheers,
Nick.
