Description

Bug Report

from numba import typed causes mypy to generate spurious attr-defined errors for everything else imported from numba.

To Reproduce

from numba import njit, typed  # error: Module has no attribute "njit"  [attr-defined]

Expected Behavior

scratch.py:1: error: Skipping analyzing "numba": module is installed, but missing library stubs or py.typed marker  [import]
scratch.py:1: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#missing-imports

Actual Behavior

scratch.py:1: error: Module "numba" has no attribute "njit"  [attr-defined]

Research direction

Reproduce the report with the shown scratch.py import and the listed mypy, Python, and numba versions. Start by tracing how mypy handles installed packages when only a subpackage provides py.typed; done means the import no longer produces the spurious attr-defined error and a regression test covers this layout.
