Static Type Checking of Python Scripts Using pytype

Configuration¶

There are 3 ways to control the behavior of `pytype.

1. Pass command-line options to pytype.

2. Specify a configuration file using pytype --config /path/to/config/file .... You can generate an example configuration file using the command pytype --generate-config pytype.cfg.

3. If no configuration file is found, pytype uses the first setup.cfg it founds and use the [pytype] section.

Please refer to xinstalll::pytype/setup.cfg for an example of configuration file of pytype.

Exclude Files and/or Directories¶

1. Use the --exclude option.

    :::bash
    PATH=.venv/bin:$PATH pytype xinstall --exclude xinstall/data

2. Specify files and/or directories to exclude in the configuration file setup.cfg.

    [pytype]
    exclude = 
        **/*_test.py 
        **/test_*.py
