This directory contains several tests:

  • tests/mypy_test.py tests the stubs with mypy
  • tests/pytype_test.py tests the stubs with pytype.
  • tests/pyright_test.py tests the stubs with pyright.
  • tests/regr_test.py runs mypy against the test cases for typeshed's stubs, guarding against accidental regressions.
  • tests/check_consistent.py checks certain files in typeshed remain consistent with each other.
  • tests/stubtest_stdlib.py checks standard library stubs against the objects at runtime.
  • tests/stubtest_third_party.py checks third-party stubs against the objects at runtime.
  • tests/typecheck_typeshed.py runs mypy against typeshed's own code in the tests and scripts directories.

To run the tests, follow the setup instructions in the CONTRIBUTING.md document. In particular, we recommend running with Python 3.9+.

Run all tests for a specific stub

Run using:

(.venv3)$ python3 scripts/runtests.py <stdlib-or-stubs>/<stub-to-test>

This script will run all tests below for a specific typeshed directory. A summary of the results will be printed to the terminal.

You must provide a single argument which is a path to the stubs to test, like so: stdlib/os or stubs/requests.

mypy_test.py

Run using:

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/mypy_test.py

The test has two parts: running mypy on the stdlib stubs, and running mypy on the third-party stubs.

This test is shallow — it verifies that all stubs can be imported but doesn't check whether stubs match their implementation (in the Python standard library or a third-party package).

Run python tests/mypy_test.py --help for information on the various configuration options for this script.

pytype_test.py

Note: this test cannot be run on Windows systems unless you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Run using:

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/pytype_test.py

This test works similarly to mypy_test.py, except it uses pytype.

pyright_test.py

This test requires Node.js to be installed. Although typeshed runs pyright in CI, it does not currently use this script. However, this script uses the same pyright version and configuration as the CI.

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/pyright_test.py                                # Check all files
(.venv3)$ python3 tests/pyright_test.py stdlib/sys.pyi                 # Check one file
(.venv3)$ python3 tests/pyright_test.py -p pyrightconfig.stricter.json # Check with the stricter config.

pyrightconfig.stricter.json is a stricter configuration that enables additional checks that would typically fail on incomplete stubs (such as Unknown checks). In typeshed's CI, pyright is run with these configuration settings on a subset of the stubs in typeshed (including the standard library).

regr_test.py

This test runs mypy against the test cases for typeshed's stdlib and third-party stubs. See the README in the test_cases directory for more information about what these test cases are for and how they work. Run python tests/regr_test.py --help for information on the various configuration options.

check_consistent.py

Run using:

python3 tests/check_consistent.py

stubtest_stdlib.py

Run using

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/stubtest_stdlib.py

This test compares the stdlib stubs against the objects at runtime. Because of this, the output depends on which version of Python and on what kind of system it is run. Thus the easiest way to run this test is via Github Actions on your fork; if you run it locally, it'll likely complain about system-specific differences (in e.g, socket) that the type system cannot capture. If you need a specific version of Python to repro a CI failure, pyenv can help.

Due to its dynamic nature, you may run into false positives. In this case, you can add to the allowlists for each affected Python version in tests/stubtest_allowlists. Please file issues for stubtest false positives at mypy.

To run stubtest against third party stubs, it's easiest to use stubtest directly, with

(.venv3)$ python3 -m mypy.stubtest \
  --custom-typeshed-dir <path-to-typeshed> \
  <third-party-module>

stubtest can also help you find things missing from the stubs.

stubtest_third_party.py

Run using

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/stubtest_third_party.py

Similar to stubtest_stdlib.py, but tests the third party stubs. By default, it checks all third-party stubs, but you can provide the distributions to check on the command line:

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/stubtest_third_party.py Pillow toml  # check stubs/Pillow and stubs/toml

For each distribution, stubtest ignores definitions listed in a @tests/stubtest_allowlist.txt file, relative to the distribution. Additional packages that are needed to run stubtest for a distribution can be added to @tests/requirements-stubtest.txt.

typecheck_typeshed.py

Run using

(.venv3)$ python3 tests/typecheck_typeshed.py

This is a small wrapper script that uses mypy to typecheck typeshed's own code in the scripts and tests directories. Run python tests/typecheck_typeshed.py --help for information on the various configuration options.
