Hey everyone,

I’m trying to use the new pytype type checker that was added (by me :sweat_smile:) in 2.18.0.
However, I see it fails to resolve imports.

I’d be happy to submit another PR that fixes it, but I need some guidance. Any chance someone can assist?

Thanks :pray:

What guidance do you need / where are you getting stuck?

tbh I am not sure how to address the issue. From my understanding, <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/main/src/python/pants/backend/python/typecheck/pytype/rules.py#L149|this> should have caused pytype to “be” inside the pants generated venv.

It might be required to pass `--PYTHONPATH` to pytype, but I’m not sure how to retrieve it in the context of a plugin implementation.
