Mypy 1.13 Released

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.13 to the Python Package Index (PyPI).

Mypy is a static type checker for Python. You can install it as follows:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Note that unlike typical releases, Mypy 1.13 does not have any changes to type checking semantics from 1.12.1.

Improved Performance

Mypy 1.13 contains several performance improvements. Users can expect mypy to be 5-20% faster.

In environments with long search paths (such as environments using many editable installs), mypy can be significantly faster, e.g. 2.2x faster in the use case targeted by these improvements.

Mypy 1.13 allows use of the orjson library for handling the cache instead of the stdlib json, for improved performance. You can ensure the presence of orjson using the faster-cache extra:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy[faster-cache]

Mypy may depend on orjson by default in the future.

These improvements were contributed by Shantanu.

List of changes:

• Significantly speed up file handling error paths (Shantanu, PR 17920)
• Use fast path in modulefinder more often (Shantanu, PR 17950)
• Let mypyc optimise os.path.join (Shantanu, PR 17949)
• Make is_sub_path faster (Shantanu, PR 17962)
• Speed up stubs suggestions (Shantanu, PR 17965)
• Use sha1 for hashing (Shantanu, PR 17953)
• Use orjson instead of json, when available (Shantanu, PR 17955)
• Add faster-cache extra, test in CI (Shantanu, PR 17978)

Mypy 1.12 Released

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.12 to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes.

You can install it as follows:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Support Python 3.12 Syntax for Generics (PEP 695)

Support for the new type parameter syntax introduced in Python 3.12 is now enabled by default, documented, and no longer experimental. It was available through a feature flag in mypy 1.11 as an experimental feature.

This example demonstrates the new syntax:

    # Generic function
    def f[T](x: T) -> T: ...

    reveal_type(f(1))  # Revealed type is 'int'

    # Generic class
    class C[T]:
        def __init__(self, x: T) -> None:
           self.x = x

    c = C('a')
    reveal_type(c.x)  # Revealed type is 'str'

    # Type alias
    type A[T] = C[list[T]]

For more information, refer to the documentation.

These improvements are included:

• Document Python 3.12 type parameter syntax (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17816)
• Further documentation updates (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17826)
• Allow Self return types with contravariance (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17786)
• Enable new type parameter syntax by default (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17798)
• Generate error if new-style type alias used as base class (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17789)
• Inherit variance if base class has explicit variance (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17787)
• Fix crash on invalid type var reference (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17788)
• Fix covariance of frozen dataclasses (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17783)
• Allow covariance with attribute that has "_" name prefix (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17782)
• Support Annotated[...] in new-style type aliases (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17777)
• Fix nested generic classes (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17776)
• Add detection and error reporting for the use of incorrect expressions within the scope of a type parameter and a type alias (Kirill Podoprigora, PR 17560)

Basic Support for Python 3.13

This release adds partial support for Python 3.13 features and compiled binaries for Python 3.13. Mypyc now also supports Python 3.13.

In particular, these features are supported:

• Various new stdlib features and changes (through typeshed stub improvements)
• typing.ReadOnly (see below for more)
• typing.TypeIs (added in mypy 1.10, PEP 742)
• Type parameter defaults when using the legacy syntax (PEP 696)

These features are not supported yet:

• warnings.deprecated (PEP 702)
• Type parameter defaults when using Python 3.12 type parameter syntax

Mypyc Support for Python 3.13

Mypyc now supports Python 3.13. This was contributed by Marc Mueller, with additional fixes by Jukka Lehtosalo. Free threaded Python 3.13 builds are not supported yet.

List of changes:

• Add additional includes for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17506)
• Add another include for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17509)
• Fix ManagedDict functions for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17507)
• Update mypyc test output for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17508)
• Fix PyUnicode functions for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17504)
• Fix _PyObject_LookupAttrId for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17505)
• Fix _PyList_Extend for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17503)
• Fix gen_is_coroutine for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17501)
• Fix _PyObject_FastCall for Python 3.13 (Marc Mueller, PR 17502)
• Avoid uses of _PyObject_CallMethodOneArg on 3.13 (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17526)
• Don't rely on _PyType_CalculateMetaclass on 3.13 (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17525)
• Don't use _PyUnicode_FastCopyCharacters on 3.13 (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17524)
• Don't use _PyUnicode_EQ on 3.13, as it's no longer exported (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17523)

Inferring Unions for Conditional Expressions

Mypy now always tries to infer a union type for a conditional expression if left and right operand types are different. This results in more precise inferred types and lets mypy detect more issues. Example:

    s = "foo" if cond() else 1
    # Type of "s" is now "str | int" (it used to be "object")

Notably, if one of the operands has type Any, the type of a conditional expression is now <type> | Any. Previously the inferred type was just Any. The new type essentially indicates that the value can be of type <type>, and potentially of some (unknown) type.

Most operations performed on the result must also be valid for <type>.

Example where this is relevant:

    from typing import Any

    def func(a: Any, b: bool) -> None:
        x = a if b else None
        # Type of x is "Any | None"
        print(x.y)  # Error: None has no attribute "y"

This feature was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 17427).

ReadOnly Support for TypedDict (PEP 705)

You can now use typing.ReadOnly to specity TypedDict items as read-only (PEP 705):

    from typing import TypedDict

    # Or "from typing ..." on Python 3.13
    from typing_extensions import ReadOnly

    class TD(TypedDict):
        a: int
        b: ReadOnly[int]

    d: TD = {"a": 1, "b": 2}
    d["a"] = 3  # OK
    d["b"] = 5  # Error: "b" is ReadOnly

This feature was contributed by Nikita Sobolev (PR 17644).

Python 3.8 End of Life Approaching

We are planning to drop support for Python 3.8 in the next mypy feature release or the one after that. Python 3.8 reaches end of life in October 2024.

Planned Changes to Defaults

We are planning to enable --local-partial-types by default in mypy 2.0. This will often require at least minor code changes. This option is implicitly enabled by mypy daemon, so this makes the behavior of daemon and non-daemon modes consistent.

We recommend that mypy users start using local partial types soon (or to explicitly disable them) to prepare for the change.

This can also be configured in a mypy configuration file:

    local_partial_types = True

For more information, refer to the documentation.

Documentation Updates

Mypy documentation now uses modern syntax variants and imports in many examples. Some examples no longer work on Python 3.8, which is the earliest Python version that mypy supports.

Notably, Iterable and other protocols/ABCs are imported from collections.abc instead of typing:

    from collections.abc import Iterable, Callable

Examples also avoid the upper-case aliases to built-in types: list[str] is used instead of List[str]. The X | Y union type syntax introduced in Python 3.10 is also now prevalent.

List of documentation updates:

• Document --output=json CLI option (Edgar Ramírez Mondragón, PR 17611)
• Update various references to deprecated type aliases in docs (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17829)
• Make "X | Y" union syntax more prominent in documentation (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17835)
• Discuss upper bounds before self types in documentation (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17827)
• Make changelog visible in mypy documentation (quinn-sasha, PR 17742)
• List all incomplete features in --enable-incomplete-feature docs (sobolevn, PR 17633)
• Remove the explicit setting of a pygments theme (Pradyun Gedam, PR 17571)
• Document ReadOnly with TypedDict (Jukka Lehtosalo, PR 17905)
• Document TypeIs (Chelsea Durazo, PR 17821)

Experimental Inline TypedDict Syntax

Mypy now supports a non-standard, experimental syntax for defining anonymous TypedDicts.

Example:

    def func(n: str, y: int) -> {"name": str, "year": int}:
        return {"name": n, "year": y}

The feature is disabled by default. Use --enable-incomplete-feature=InlineTypedDict to enable it. We might remove this feature in a future release.

This feature was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 17457).

Stubgen Improvements

• Add enable_incomplete_feature validation to stubtest (sobolevn, PR 17635)
• Fix error code handling in stubtest with --mypy-config-file (sobolevn, PR 17629)

Mypy 1.11 Released

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.11 to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. You can install it as follows:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Support Python 3.12 Syntax for Generics (PEP 695)

Mypy now supports the new type parameter syntax introduced in Python 3.12 (PEP 695).

This feature is still experimental and must be enabled with the --enable-incomplete-feature=NewGenericSyntax flag, or with enable_incomplete_feature = NewGenericSyntax in the mypy configuration file.

We plan to enable this by default in the next mypy feature release.

This example demonstrates the new syntax:

    # Generic function
    def fT -> T: ...
    
    reveal_type(f(1))  # Revealed type is 'int'
    
    # Generic class
    class C[T]:
        def __init__(self, x: T) -> None:
           self.x = x
    
    c = C('a')
    reveal_type(c.x)  # Revealed type is 'str'
    
    # Type alias
    type A[T] = C[list[T]]

This feature was contributed by Jukka Lehtosalo.

Support for functools.partial

Mypy now type checks uses of functools.partial. Previously mypy would accept arbitrary arguments.

This example will now produce an error:

    from functools import partial
    
    def f(a: int, b: str) -> None: ...
    
    g = partial(f, 1)
    
    # Argument has incompatible type "int"; expected "str"
    g(11)

This feature was contributed by Shantanu (PR 16939).

Stricter Checks for Untyped Overrides

Past mypy versions didn't check if untyped methods were compatible with overridden methods. This would result in false negatives. Now mypy performs these checks when using --check-untyped-defs.

For example, this now generates an error if using --check-untyped-defs:

    class Base:
        def f(self, x: int = 0) -> None: ...
    
    class Derived(Base):
        # Signature incompatible with "Base"
        def f(self): ...

This feature was contributed by Steven Troxler (PR 17276).

Type Inference Improvements

The new polymorphic inference algorithm introduced in mypy 1.5 is now used in more situations. This improves type inference involving generic higher-order functions, in particular.

This feature was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 17348).

Mypy now uses unions of tuple item types in certain contexts to enable more precise inferred types. Example:

    for x in (1, 'x'):
        # Previously inferred as 'object'
        reveal_type(x)  # Revealed type is 'int | str'

This was also contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 17408).

Improvements to Detection of Overlapping Overloads

The details of how mypy checks if two @overload signatures are unsafely overlapping were overhauled. This both fixes some false positives, and allows mypy to detect additional unsafe signatures.

This feature was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 17392).

Better Support for Type Hints in Expressions

Mypy now allows more expressions that evaluate to valid type annotations in all expression contexts. The inferred types of these expressions are also sometimes more precise. Previously they were often object.

This example uses a union type that includes a callable type as an expression, and it no longer generates an error:

    from typing import Callable
    
    print(Callable[[], int] | None)  # No error

This feature was contributed by Jukka Lehtosalo (PR 17404).

Mypyc Improvements

Mypyc now supports the new syntax for generics introduced in Python 3.12 (see above). Another notable improvement is signficantly faster basic operations on int values.

Mypy 1.10 Released

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.10 to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. You can install it as follows:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Support TypeIs (PEP 742)

Mypy now supports TypeIs (PEP 742), which allows functions to narrow the type of a value, similar to isinstance(). Unlike TypeGuard, TypeIs can narrow in both the if and else branches of an if statement:

    from typing_extensions import TypeIs
    
    def is_str(s: object) -> TypeIs[str]:
        return isinstance(s, str)
    
    def f(o: str | int) -> None:
        if is_str(o):
            # Type of o is 'str'
            ...
        else:
            # Type of o is 'int'
            ...

TypeIs will be added to the typing module in Python 3.13, but it can be used on earlier Python versions by importing it from typing_extensions.

This feature was contributed by Jelle Zijlstra (PR 16898).

Support TypeVar Defaults (PEP 696)

PEP 696 adds support for type parameter defaults.

Example:

    from typing import Generic
    from typing_extensions import TypeVar
    
    T = TypeVar("T", default=int)
    
    class C(Generic[T]):
       ...
    
    x: C = ...
    y: C[str] = ...
    reveal_type(x)  # C[int], because of the default
    reveal_type(y)  # C[str]

TypeVar defaults will be added to the typing module in Python 3.13, but they can be used with earlier Python releases by importing TypeVar from typing_extensions.

Support TypeAliasType (PEP 695)

As part of the initial steps towards implementing PEP 695, mypy now supports TypeAliasType. TypeAliasType provides a backport of the new type statement in Python 3.12.

    type ListOrSet[T] = list[T] | set[T]

is equivalent to:

    T = TypeVar("T")
    ListOrSet = TypeAliasType("ListOrSet", list[T] | set[T], type_params=(T,))

Example of use in mypy:

    from typing_extensions import TypeAliasType, TypeVar
    
    NewUnionType = TypeAliasType("NewUnionType", int | str)
    x: NewUnionType = 42
    y: NewUnionType = 'a'
    z: NewUnionType = object()
    # error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "object",
    # variable has type "int | str")  [assignment]
    
    T = TypeVar("T")
    ListOrSet = TypeAliasType("ListOrSet", list[T] | set[T], type_params=(T,))
    a: ListOrSet[int] = [1, 2]
    b: ListOrSet[str] = {'a', 'b'}
    c: ListOrSet[str] = 'test'
    # error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "str",
    # variable has type "list[str] | set[str]")  [assignment]

TypeAliasType was added to the typing module in Python 3.12, but it can be used with earlier Python releases by importing from typing_extensions.

This feature was contributed by Ali Hamdan (PR 16926, PR 17038 and PR 17053)

Detect Additional Unsafe Uses of super()

Mypy will reject unsafe uses of super() more consistently, when the target has a trivial (empty) body. Example:

    class Proto(Protocol):
        def method(self) -> int: ...
    
    class Sub(Proto):
        def method(self) -> int:
            return super().meth()  # Error (unsafe)

Mypy 1.9 Released

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.9 to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. You can install it as follows:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Breaking Changes

Because the version of typeshed we use in mypy 1.9 doesn't support 3.7, neither does mypy 1.9. (Jared Hance, PR 16883)

We are planning to enable local partial types (enabled via the --local-partial-types flag) later this year by default. This change was announced years ago, but now it's finally happening. This is a major backward-incompatible change, so we'll probably include it as part of the upcoming mypy 2.0 release. This makes daemon and non-daemon mypy runs have the same behavior by default.

Local partial types can also be enabled in the mypy config file:

    local_partial_types = True

We are looking at providing a tool to make it easier to migrate projects to use --local-partial-types, but it's not yet clear whether this is practical. The migration usually involves adding some explicit type annotations to module-level and class-level variables.

Basic Support for Type Parameter Defaults (PEP 696)

This release contains new experimental support for type parameter defaults (PEP 696). Please try it out! This feature was contributed by Marc Mueller.

Since this feature will be officially introduced in the next Python feature release (3.13), you will need to import TypeVar, ParamSpec or TypeVarTuple from typing_extensions to use defaults for now.

This example adapted from the PEP defines a default for BotT:

    from typing import Generic
    from typing_extensions import TypeVar
    
    class Bot: ...
    
    <p>BotT = TypeVar("BotT", bound=Bot, default=Bot)
    
    class Context(Generic[BotT]):
        bot: BotT
    
    class MyBot(Bot): ...
    
    # type is Bot (the default)
    reveal_type(Context().bot)
    # type is MyBot
    reveal_type(ContextMyBot.bot)

Mypy 1.7 Released

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.7 to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. You can install it as follows:

    python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Using TypedDict for **kwargs Typing

Mypy now has support for using Unpack[...] with a TypedDict type to annotate **kwargs arguments enabled by default. Example:

    # Or 'from typing_extensions import ...'
    from typing import TypedDict, Unpack
    
    class Person(TypedDict):
        name: str
        age: int
    
    def foo(**kwargs: Unpack[Person]) -> None:
        ...
    
    foo(name="x", age=1)  # Ok
    foo(name=1)  # Error

The definition of foo above is equivalent to the one below, with keyword-only arguments name and age:

    def foo(*, name: str, age: int) -> None:
        ...

Refer to PEP 692 for more information. Note that unlike in the current version of the PEP, mypy always treats signatures with Unpack[SomeTypedDict] as equivalent to their expanded forms with explicit keyword arguments, and there aren't special type checking rules for TypedDict arguments.

This was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi back in 2022 (PR 13471).

TypeVarTuple Support Enabled (Experimental)

Mypy now has support for variadic generics (TypeVarTuple) enabled by default, as an experimental feature. Refer to PEP 646 for the details.

TypeVarTuple was implemented by Jared Hance and Ivan Levkivskyi over several mypy releases, with help from Jukka Lehtosalo.

Changes included in this release:

• Fix handling of tuple type context with unpacks (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16444)
• Handle TypeVarTuples when checking overload constraints (robjhornby, PR 16428)
• Enable Unpack/TypeVarTuple support (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16354)
• Fix crash on unpack call special-casing (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16381)
• Some final touches for variadic types support (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16334)
• Support PEP-646 and PEP-692 in the same callable (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16294)
• Support new * syntax for variadic types (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16242)
• Correctly handle variadic instances with empty arguments (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16238)
• Correctly handle runtime type applications of variadic types (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16240)
• Support variadic tuple packing/unpacking (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16205)
• Better support for variadic calls and indexing (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16131)
• Subtyping and inference of user-defined variadic types (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 16076)
• Complete type analysis of variadic types (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 15991)

New Way of Installing Mypyc Dependencies

If you want to install package dependencies needed by mypyc (not just mypy), you should now install mypy[mypyc] instead of just mypy:

    python3 -m pip install -U 'mypy[mypyc]'

Mypy has many more users than mypyc, so always installing mypyc dependencies would often bring unnecessary dependencies.

This change was contributed by Shantanu (PR 16229).

New Rules for Re-exports

Mypy no longer considers an import such as import a.b as b as an explicit re-export. The old behavior was arguably inconsistent and surprising. This may impact some stub packages, such as older versions of types-six. You can change the import to from a import b as b, if treating the import as a re-export was intentional.

This change was contributed by Anders Kaseorg (PR 14086).

Improved Type Inference

The new type inference algorithm that was recently introduced to mypy (but was not enabled by default) is now enabled by default. It improves type inference of calls to generic callables where an argument is also a generic callable, in particular. You can use --old-type-inference to disable the new behavior.

The new algorithm can (rarely) produce different error messages, different error codes, or errors reported on different lines. This is more likely in cases where generic types were used incorrectly.

The new type inference algorithm was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi. PR 16345 enabled it by default.

Narrowing Tuple Types Using len()

Mypy now can narrow tuple types using len() checks. Example:

    def f(t: tuple[int, int] | tuple[int, int, int]) -> None:
        if len(t) == 2:
            a, b = t   # Ok
        ...

This feature was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 16237).

More Precise Tuple Lengths (Experimental)

Mypy supports experimental, more precise checking of tuple type lengths through --enable-incomplete-feature=PreciseTupleTypes. Refer to the documentation for more information.

More generally, we are planning to use --enable-incomplete-feature to introduce experimental features that would benefit from community feedback.

This feature was contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi (PR 16237).

Mypy Changelog

We now maintain a changelog in the mypy Git repository. It mirrors the contents of mypy release blog posts. We will continue to also publish release blog posts. In the future, release blog posts will be created based on the changelog near a release date.

This was contributed by Shantanu (PR 16280).
