Closed

Description

@rchen152

Type information for third party libraries will start being distributed outside of typeshed per PEP 561; we should support this.

    A specific part of this PEP that would be useful for us is in-project pyi files. They would allow, e.g., pytype users to indicate the existence of Cython modules.

    Hi, thank you for your report. Google is shifting its effort to a different approach for type checking apart from pytype, and we're not planning to put in any effort in the near future in pytype, so we'll close this issue. Please see the announcement here.
