Mypy exclude paths option

[laurentluce]

Hello. The exclude flag can be set to ignore some files from being discovered by mypy. Is there an option to not report mypy errors for some files? The files are discovered and type checked but the errors pointing to those files are ignored.

Yes, in your mypy config file, you can do something like:

[mypy-somepackage.whatever.*]
ignore_errors = True

If you have some code that you don't want mypy to look at at all (mypy will replace all symbols originating from this code with Any), you can do something like:

[mypy-somepackage.whatever.*]
follow_imports = skip

Note that the module pattern needs to be prefixed with "mypy-".

Thanks @hauntsaninja for the answer.
