PyBuilder plugin that creates *-stubs package for your project

This plugin adds stubs_publish and stubs_upload tasks that you can use in your build script.

Using MyPy's stubgen it creates type hinting stubs (*.pyi files) as a separate package. This stubs-only package is named with the -stubs suffix following PEP 561. For a pybuilder project foo this would create stubs-only package foo-stubs.

The stubs-only package's version will be the same as version of your pybuilder project and the stubs-only package will have install dependency on that specific version of the project.

Tasks

stubs_publish

Generates *.pyi files using stubgen on your project's source files, adds appropriate setup.py file, and creates a wheel.

stubs_upload

Uses twine to upload the -stubs package.

Properties

The plugin understands additional properties in your project that control flags for the stubgen.

stubs_include_private

boolean, adds the --include-private flag to stubgen if set to True.

stubs_include_docstrings

boolean, adds the --include-docstrings flag to stubgen if set to True. Stubgen then includes docstrings for classes and methods in the stubs.

Note that this flag is not merged yet (PR #13284)
