Suggest Type Annotations Using Mypy Daemon

[saulshanabrook]

MyPy recently introduced the ability to suggest type annotations for functions: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mypy_daemon.html#static-inference-of-annotations. It would be great to have this integrated into VS Code's UI, so you could get a suggestion for type hints. From their docs, it seems like this is already supported in PyCharm.

It looks like this would depend on first getting MyPy daemon supported in VS Code: #1577

Thank you for the suggestion! We have marked this issue as "needs decision" to make sure we have a conversation about your idea. We plan to leave this feature request open for at least a month to see how many 👍 votes the opening comment gets to help us make our decision.

Thanks! Having that label does send a really good message, as it invites someone to try to make a PR for this popular request.

Now that we have Pylance, that would be the best place to get this support from.

@ssbarnea We have two language servers JediLSP (https://github.com/pappasam/jedi-language-server) and Pylance you can make this recommendation on either of them.
