Description
stubgen timeout on building docs on MacOS
python -m mypy.stubgen -m mypackage -o ./stubs --include-docstrings
The stubgen tool always reports a timeout waiting for queued package properties. The timeout happens in the following code block:
-> moduleinspect.py
(155) def _get_from_queue(self) -> ModuleProperties | str | None:
It seems the subprocess never queues package properties.
To Reproduce
This error occurs on MacOS only.
python -m mypy.stubgen -m mypackage -o ./stubs --include-docstrings
Expected Behavior
It should work as smooth as on Windows and Linux, outputting the stub file without further issues.
Actual Behavior

Research direction
Start with mypy/moduleinspect.py, especially ModuleInspect._get_from_queue(), and reproduce the failure with the provided stubgen command on macOS. Compare the subprocess and queue behavior with Windows or Linux, then verify that the command completes and writes the expected stubs without the timeout.
