Help installing the appropriate stub version

[DMunkei]

Hey, I'm not understanding which version of the stubs I need to install?

These are my installed modules per pip list.

django-stubs              4.2.7
django-stubs-ext          5.0.4
djangorestframework       3.14.0
Django                    4.2.9
mypy                      1.7.1
mypy-extensions           1.0.0

If I'm understanding the docs right. then I am supposed to install the 1.7.0 version to match the mypy version I have?

Would the command look like this?

pip install djangorestframework-stubs==1.7.0

When I open my editor NeoVim with the virtual environment active I get this error message for this line of code.

from rest_framework import serializers

Diagnostics:
1. Import "rest_framework" could not be resolved [reportMissingImports]

Hopefully someone can make sense of this and help me out :)

Cheers!

That's not correct, I guess the documentation is unclear. Is there something we can improve in the docs?

The latest version that is strictly compatible with mypy 1.7.0 is djangorestframework-stubs==3.14.5 (setup.py)

(Note: There's a tradeoff between using older -stubs versions, or updating to latest even if your Django version is not latest. See here for details: typeddjango/django-stubs#2101 (comment))

This error comes from pylance/pyright, not mypy.

I'm guessing you installed djangorestframework-stubs inside a virtualenv, but when NeoVim invokes pyright, it runs outside of that virtualenv and does not find the stubs package. You can probably configure it to use the venv. But sorry, can't help more there, I have not used pyright/NeoVim myself.

I'm not really experience with mypy and stubs. What would you recommend me doing? Would appreciate that if it's not too much of an inconveniece. Do I simply just execute these commands?

pip install myp
pip install djangorestframework-stubs
pip install django-stubs
