Description
Bug Report
(A clear and concise description of what the bug is.)
See below.
To Reproduce
Do from pygments.lexers import ....
mypy file.py would gives:
(3.14) ➜ git: mypy .
error: Library stubs not installed for "pygments.lexers" [import-untyped]
note: Hint: "python3 -m pip install types-Pygments"
note: (or run "mypy --install-types" to install all missing stub packages)
note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#missing-imports
error: Library stubs not installed for "pygments" [import-untyped]
Normally for other packages I would fix by mypy --install-types [--non-interactive] ..
But it doesn't install types-Pygments despite mypy knowing that this stub is missing.
# Ideally, a small sample program that demonstrates the problem.
# Or even better, a reproducible playground link https://mypy-play.net/ (use the "Gist" button)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported mypy . failure with from pygments.lexers import ..., then trace the --install-types --non-interactive path that handles the missing types-Pygments package. Done means the command installs the suggested stub package and the reported missing-stub diagnostics no longer occur.
