Ignore

Ways to ignore untyped libraries or when you want to ignore your own modules.

See also ignore_errors option.

Ignore line in file

import foo  # type: ignore

Ignore whole file

# type: ignore

import foo

Ignore by name in config

Note - if you get irregular behavior after you remove a config file, delete .mypy_cache and try again.

See Config file notes in the docs for referencing modules and for what rules you can add.

Ignore foobar imports. This is equivalent to adding # type: ignore to every import of foobar.

• setup.cfg - first heading is to ensure the section below it actually gets evaluated.

    [mypy]
      
    [mypy-foobar.*]
    ignore_missing_imports = True
  

OR

• mypy.ini - first heading is to avoid a warning, but doesn’t affect functionality at least in this case.

    [mypy]
  
    [mypy-foobar.*]
    ignore_missing_imports = True
  

e.g. There is types-Flask for Flask but no types for Flask-RESTful.

So you can do this:

[mypy]

[mypy-flask_restful.*]
ignore_missing_imports = True

Ignore imports globally in config

Ignore all missing imports across libraries.

• setup.cfg or mypy.ini.

    [mypy]
    ignore_missing_imports = True
  

Ignore from CLI

$ mypy --ignore-missing-imports
