Specifying to ignore python module in configuration file

[james-riley678]

mypy version 0.910 is being used along with Python 3.7

I am importing the python module azure-storage-blob in my code. When using mypy it comes up with the following errors:

/virtualenvs/src-foikFr8K/lib/python3.7/site-packages/azure/storage/blob/_serialize.py:129: error: Type signature has too many arguments
/virtualenvs/src-foikFr8K/lib/python3.7/site-packages/azure/storage/blob/_blob_client.py:1406: error: Type signature has too few arguments

This fails on the line when I do this import

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient, BlobClient

Obviously I cannot change the code for this package so I need to specify in the config file to ignore it.

However, whatever I put in, it doesn't seem to ignore it:

[mypy-azure-storage-blob]
ignore_errors = True

Any ideas?

@james-riley678 Two things here.

1. Looks like azure is a 3rd party library. You can change how you treat your imports. Try this:

[mypy]
follow_imports = silent

Example: https://github.com/dry-python/returns/blob/master/setup.cfg#L178

2. I am pretty certain that this is not how this should be fixed, but. It looks like you are using - notation in module ignores. I am not sure that it works. Try this:

[mypy-azure.storage.blob]  # or azure.storage.blob.*
ignore_errors = True

Example: https://github.com/wemake-services/wemake-django-template/blob/master/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_name%7D%7D/setup.cfg#L129

I'd recommend not changing your global follow_imports setting, since that will affect all your imports, not just the azure one. Maybe try a combination of the two things Nikita suggested:

[mypy-azure.storage.blob.*]
follow_imports = skip

This actually seems like a different bug than described, and based on my understanding, the suggested fixes of setting follow_imports should not normally be necessary.

By default, it appears that mypy is supposed to ignore errors from modules in site-packages. This is controlled by the setting no_silence_site_packages. I am seeing the same errors (as do other people based on Azure/azure-sdk-for-python#20771), both when leaving no_silence_site_packages as default ("yes, silence") and when explicitly setting it to False in my [mypy] configuration. For some reason, mypy is not silencing these errors as it should be.

A better title for this issue might be "site-packages errors not being silenced".

• mypy v0.910
• Python 3.8.12

Yeah, jayqi is right. Similar to the issue in #9972 (comment)
