A library for accessing stubs in typeshed.

Project description

This project provides a way to retrieve information from typeshed and from PEP 561 stub packages.

Example use cases:

  • Find the path to the stub file for a particular module.

  • Find the names defined in a stub.

  • Find the AST node that defines a particular name in a stub.

Projects for which typeshed_client could be useful include:

  • Static analyzers that want to access typeshed annotations.

  • Tools that check stubs for correctness.

  • Tools that use typeshed for runtime introspection.

Installation

typeshed_client works on all supported versions of Python. To install it, run python3 -m pip install typeshed_client.

Finding stubs

The typeshed_client.finder module provides functions for finding stub files given a module name.

Functions provided:

  • get_search_context(*, typeshed: Optional[Path] = None, search_path: Optional[Sequence[Path]] = None, python_executable: Optional[str] = None, version: Optional[PythonVersion] = None, platform: str = sys.platform) -> SearchContext: Returns a SearchContext

  • typeshed_client.get_stub_file(module_name: str, *, search_context: Optional[SearchContext] = None) -> Optional[Path]: Returns the path to a module’s stub in typeshed. For example, get_stub_file('typing', search_context=get_search_context(version=(2, 7))) may return Path('/path/to/typeshed/stdlib/@python2/typing.pyi'). If there is no stub for the module, returns None.

  • typeshed_client.get_stub_ast has the same interface, but returns an AST object (parsed using the standard library ast module).

Collecting names from stubs

typeshed_client.parser collects the names defined in a stub. It provides:

  • typeshed_client.get_stub_names(module_name: str, *, search_context: Optional[SearchContext] = None) -> Optional[NameDict] collects the names defined in a module, using the given Python version and platform. It returns a NameDict, a dictionary mapping object names defined in the module to NameInfo records.

  • typeshed_client.NameInfo is a namedtuple defined as:

    class NameInfo(NamedTuple):
      name: str
      is_exported: bool
      ast: Union[ast3.AST, ImportedName, OverloadedName]
      child_nodes: Optional[NameDict] = None

    name is the object’s name. is_exported indicates whether the name is a part of the stub’s public interface. ast is the AST node defining the name, or a different structure if the name is imported from another module or is overloaded. For classes, child_nodes is a dictionary containing the names defined within the class.

Resolving names to their definitions

The third component of this package, typeshed_client.resolver, maps names to their definitions, even if those names are defined in other stubs.

To use the resolver, you need to instantiate the typeshed_client.Resolver class. For example, given a resolver = typeshed_client.Resolver(), you can call resolver.get_fully_qualified_name('collections.Set') to retrieve the NameInfo containing the AST node defining collections.Set in typeshed.
