Unofficial python stubs for Pixar's Universal Scene Description (USD)

Unofficial python stubs for Pixar's Universal Scene Description (USD)

These stubs are designed to be used with a type checker like mypy to provide static type checking of python code, as well as to provide analysis and completion in IDEs like PyCharm and VSCode (with Pylance).

Installing

pip install types-usd

The version of the package corresponds to the version of USD that it is generated from, plus a version suffix for the revision of the stubs

The stubs have been tested against a large USD codebase using mypy, however, there are still known issues that need to be resolved.

Using these stubs with mypy will produce erros within the stubs themselves, mostly about missing/unknown types. I've left these errors unsilenced as a reminder to fix them. I recommend adding the following config to your mypy.ini to silence these errors:

[mypy-pxr.*]
ignore_errors = true

If you find any other issues, please report them on the github issues page.

Developing

The stubs are created using information extracted from python signatures generated by boost-python in each function's docstring, combined with data parsed as from the USD C++ docs.

Currently, creating the stubs requires custom forks of mypy and USD, but I hope to have my changes merged into upstream soon.
