How do I set up mypy for my Python project?

To set up mypy, first install it using pip: pip install mypy. Then, create a mypy.ini file in your project root.

What should I include in the mypy.ini file?

In the mypy.ini file, you can specify options like files, ignore_missing_imports, and strict. Here's a basic example:

[mypy]
files = .
ignore_missing_imports = True
strict = True

Can I run mypy on specific files instead of the whole project?

Yes, you can run mypy on specific files by specifying them in the command line, like this: mypy your_file.py.

What if I encounter type errors?

If you encounter type errors, mypy will provide detailed messages. You can fix the types in your code or adjust your mypy settings to be less strict.
