config file not used by default?

[cjw296]

I created a config file with pytype --generate-config pytype.toml and edited it to match my requirements.

My expectation was that, having done this, I would be able to run pytype with no arguments and the config file would be used.

However, unless I use pytype --config pytype.toml, it appears that the config file is not used.

Is that to be expected?

Hi, thank you for your report. Google is shifting its effort to a different approach for type checking apart from pytype, and we're not planning to put in any effort in the near future in pytype, so we'll close this issue. Please see the announcement here.
