Research direction

Start by reading the linked typing issue 71 and the surrounding mypy issue discussion to understand the proposed exception information for stubs. The issue names no files, tests, entry points, or acceptance criteria; work is not ready until the scope, warning behavior, and completion checks are defined.

Description

feature needs discussion priority-2-low topic-depends-on-pep-change

Over here https://github.com/python/typing/issues/71 it was discussed to add exception information to stubs, that can be interpreted by tools like mypy. It would be great to have that as an optional function that gives warnings on uncaught exceptions, especially on user-declared exceptions.

Are there any plans on adding a feature like that to mypy?
