stubFileNotFound: Stub Type Files that reduce complaints from Pylance and Ruff

• I usually run stubdefaulter.
• I sometimes add missing annotations.
• I sometimes use Any for missing annotations so type checkers don't complain about "UNKNOWN".
• Most changes are automated, but not sophisticated.

This is a useful tool for me, but I haven't really figured out how to make it useful for more people.

How to Contribute

1. Create or improve a stub file.
2. Submit a Pull Request.

Usage

The following might work for you, but I don't really know for sure.

To use the stub files from this repository:

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/hunterhogan/stubFileNotFound.git

2. Tell your type checker about the stubs directory.

Visual Studio Code

Relevant settings may include

• python.analysis.stubPath
• mypy-type-checker.args "--custom-typeshed-dir=typings"

Virtual directories (symlinks)

(.venv) C:\apps\Z0Z_tools> MKLINK /D typings \apps\stubFileNotFound\stubs

Tools I might use to create a stub

1. Copy and paste the signature into a stub file. Improve it.

2. mypy stubgen

   stubgen --verbose --include-docstrings ^
   --include-private --output typings ^
   --package nameOfAnInstalledPackage

   VS Code: workbench.action.openGlobalKeybindingsFile

    {
        "args": {
            "text": "stubgen --include-private --include-docstrings --output typings --verbose -p ${selectedText}\n"
        },
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
        "key": "ctrl+shift+t"
    },

   2026-10-16: "Hey, thanks, old me! I wanted the keybinding information, and here it is!"

3. pyright

   1. pyright --createstub nameOfAnInstalledPackage
   2. "Quick Fix" in VS Code.

4. Pylance if reportMissingTypeStubs is enabled and the stub is missing: "Quick Fix"

Tools that can allegedly create a stub

1. MonkeyType
2. stubgen-pyx: stubgen-pyx /path/to/package
3. stub-generator

Tools I probably won't use

1. Nuitka-Stubgen: pip install AST-Stubgen

   import pathlib
   import Ast_Stubgen
   pathlib.Path('typings/Ast_Stubgen').mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
   Ast_Stubgen.generate_stub('.venv/Lib/site-packages/Ast_Stubgen/stubgen.py', 'typings/Ast_Stubgen/stubgen.pyi')
   Ast_Stubgen.generate_stub('.venv/Lib/site-packages/Ast_Stubgen/__init__.py', 'typings/Ast_Stubgen/__init__.pyi')
