No stubs for event.py in sqlalchemy!

[Former User]

There is no stub for event.py in sqlalchemy, meaning no .pyi file, therefore mypy can not find it and throws an error.

The workaround for the moment would be import it separately from the import list of sqlalchemy and specify type: ignore. This needs to be done in every file that event actually is needed to be imported.

I have no idea what a .pyi file is. Can you please provide specifics as to what you wish to be changed? .pyi flies are not something that is contained within a Python package and this seems like something the "mypy" interpreter should know how to generate on its own.

Looks like one of Guido's "make static python" ideas, noting at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#non-goals: "It should also be emphasized that Python will remain a dynamically typed language, and the authors have no desire to ever make type hints mandatory, even by convention. ".

okey doke, have consulted w/ some people familiar here. libraries can't be expected to supply typing information for mypy, and I'm told that people should use the --ignore-missing-imports option to deal with this problem.

good luck!
