Description : Pytype checks and infers types for your Python code
Pytype checks and infers types for your Python code - without
requiring type annotations. Pytype can:
* Lint plain Python code, flagging common mistakes such as misspelled
attribute names, incorrect function calls, and much more, even
across file boundaries.
* Enforce user-provided type annotations. While annotations are
optional for pytype, it will check and apply them where present.
* Generate type annotations in standalone files ("pyi files"), which
can be merged back into the Python source with a provided merge-pyi
tool.
Pytype is a static analyzer; it does not execute the code it runs on.
It seems like a great help in Python development. It has a different
approach than mypy, and would complement it quite nicely.
