This linter plugin for SublimeLinter provides an interface to mypy. It will be used with files that have the "python" syntax.
SublimeLinter 4 must be installed in order to use this plugin. If SublimeLinter is not installed, please follow the instructions here.
Before using this plugin, you must ensure that mypy is installed on your system. To install mypy, do the following:
Note: This plugin requires mypy 0.520 or later.
In order for mypy to be executed by SublimeLinter, you must ensure that its path is available to SublimeLinter. Before going any further, please read and follow the steps in “Finding a linter executable” through “Validating your PATH” in the documentation.
Once you have installed and configured mypy, you can proceed to install the SublimeLinter-mypy plugin, if it is not yet installed.
Please use Package Control to install the linter plugin. This will ensure that the plugin will be updated when new versions are available. If you want to install from source so you can modify the source code, you probably know what you are doing so we won’t cover that here.
To install via Package Control, do the following:
-
Within Sublime Text, bring up the Command Palette (Tools → Command Palette…) and select
Package Control: Install Package. There may be a pause of a few seconds while Package Control fetches the list of available packages. -
When the package list appears, select
SublimeLinter-mypy.
For general information on how SublimeLinter works with settings, please see Settings. For information on generic linter settings, please see Linter Settings.
Following is a list of additional settings specific to this linter:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| cache-dir | The directory to store the cache in. Creates a sub-folder in your temporary directory if not specified. Set it to false to disable this automatic behavior, for example if the cache location is set in your mypy.ini file. |
| follow-imports | Whether imports should be followed and linted. The default is "silent" for speed, but "normal" or "skip" may also be used. |
| show-error-codes | Set to false for older mypy versions, or better yet update mypy. |
All other args to mypy should be specified in the args list directly.
