Python Type Checking - Mypy

Mypy is a  Python type checker that can help decrease errors and enhance the quality of code. These tools detect problems and provide warnings for possible errors by examining code flow and type annotations.  Mypy  : Using Mypy can be done from the command line, as a stand-alone application, or as a component of an integrated linter in an editor or IDE. It is directly compatible because it is integrated into many editors and IDEs, including the Python extension for Visual Studio Code. When Mypy is run, it produces reports that emphasize consistency in the code by using the type information that is supplied. Most of Mypy's code checks will not be performed if type annotations are absent from the code. This way, if you are gradually annotating a codebase, Mypy will not waste time checking code that you are not attempting to type-check. On the other hand, Mypy can be used to manually flag unannotated code in different levels of strictness to meet specific needs. The "strict...
