Supporting MyPy static analizer

[HamzaHajeir]

Hi

I'm new to Python really, but as a C++ programmer, I really weight the static typing.

I heard of MyPy as type checking tool, so I've used it in my simple kinparse-based script.

Before diving into the errors log, I'd really thank you for this great library, if there's a suggestion is to support parts pins (if possible) nlst.parts[0].pins.

Returning to the error log:

LibManager.py:1: error: Skipping analyzing "kinparse": found module but no type hints or library stubs
LibManager.py:1: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#missing-imports
LibManager.py:12: error: "list" expects 1 type argument, but 2 given <<< Dismiss this >>>
LibManager.py:69: error: "List[Any]" has no attribute "name"
LibManager.py:87: error: "List[Any]" has no attribute "ref"
LibManager.py:93: error: "List[Any]" has no attribute "name"

Is there a way to help mypy doing it?

Thanks

I've never used MyPy so I'm not sure what issue it's having other than the fact my code isn't annotated for type checking. kinparse is mostly a syntax table that gets passed to the pyparsing package along with the netlist as a text string. Maybe you could do some minimal type annotation to see if you can get past the errors.

So I think it's in pyparsing's field, not directly to kinparse. Am I correct?
