Conan type stubs

Conan-stubs: Type stubs for Conan

Type stubs for specific conan versions for authoring Conanfiles. Versions of this package will correspond to the corresponding conan minor version.

• Generated with mypy via stubgen -p conans --include-private to fill up package, so everything resolves
• model.conan_file is handcrafted and functions are documented with basic descriptions
• Selectable string values are annotated and scm attribute is fully type hinted as TypedDict

Why use type stubs instead of the bundled pylint plugin?

• Only usable with pylint, which is very unperformant and newer tools as Ruff can not work with this
• Methods are still missing (e.g. tool_requires)
• No autocomplete from pylint

Limitations

• tool_requires, build_requires, requires are annotated with only their function signature
• settings are annotated by their setter information for the class variable
• Every annotation is in the file, but commented out
• See https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/3004 and https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/1735

Details

Methods which also can be used as class variables can not be annotated directly:

...
tool_requires = "cmake/3.25.3"
def build_requirements(self):
    self.tool_requires("cmake/3.25.3")

The annotation would look like this with a property plus method, but can not be interpreted:

@property
@overload
def tool_requires(self) -> None: ...
@overload
def tool_requires(self, requirement: str, force_host_context: bool=False) -> None: ...
@tool_requires.setter
def tool_requires(self, value: Optional[Iterable[str]]): ...
