mypy-protobuf
Generates mypy stub files from Protocol Buffer specifications to enable static type checking in Python.
What is mypy-protobuf?
mypy-protobuf is a tool that generates mypy stub files (.pyi) from Protocol Buffer (.proto) specifications. It enables static type checking for Python code that uses protobuf-generated classes, catching type mismatches and improving code reliability. The plugin integrates with the protoc compiler to produce accurate type annotations that reflect protobuf's field presence rules and semantics.
Python developers working with Protocol Buffers who use mypy or pyright for static type checking and want type-safe interactions with protobuf-generated code.
It provides more accurate and feature-rich type stubs compared to the built-in protobuf compiler, including GRPC service typing, proper field presence handling, and comment preservation, leading to fewer runtime errors and better developer tooling.
