Supported Python features#
A list of unsupported Python features is maintained in the mypy wiki:
Runtime definition of methods and functions#
By default, mypy will complain if you add a function to a class
or module outside its definition – but only if this is visible to the
type checker. This only affects static checking, as mypy performs no
additional type checking at runtime. You can easily work around
this. For example, you can use dynamically typed code or values with
Any types, or you can use setattr() or other introspection
features. However, you need to be careful if you decide to do this. If
used indiscriminately, you may have difficulty using static typing
effectively, since the type checker cannot see functions defined at
runtime.
