Description
Feature
Give users suggestions on how to resolve Cannot find implementation or library stub for module named "{module}".
Pitch
I'm new to the ecosystem and didn't know a command that would fix mypy failing is pip install numpy. I think a suggestion on how to resolve this issue would help out people who don't use Python regularly, like myself.
Current behavior
