Hello everyone! I was reading the Pants docs for the

pants check

goal. Does this work only with MyPy? Would I be able to configure this with Pylance?

You can use pyright: https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.22/reference/subsystems/pyright More generally this chart: https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.22/docs/python/overview

I see. So there is no support for Pylance as of 2.21?

It’s in 2.23

So, unless it's changed - I thought pylance was MS's proprietary tool, built on top of pyright? pyright was the open source checker, as I understood (last time I looked into this was like 2 years ago though 😆 )

Yeah, you're right about that - Pylance is not open source, although they track issues and feature requests on GitHub. Since the OP was in context of type checking like MyPy, Pyright is the correct alternative

Hi @better-van-82973 so Pylance support is expected to be in 2.23?

I don't understand what "Pylance" support means in this context. What are you looking to accomplish with that support?

I am using pants for a monorepo in my company and they use pylance for typechecking. Are you saying I can use Pyright as a replacement? I have not tried that which is why I am asking

Yes, Pyright is the type checker underlying Pylance. So you should be able to get the same results assuming that the versions match.

ohk i see. thank you!
