Description
Feature
Support the glob patterns * and ** in the mypy_path configuration.
Should work the same way as it does for the files configuration.
Pitch
I have a monorepo, with a bunch of python libraries located in a directory called libs.
All packages are namespace packages with the same namespace, but they are kept in their own directory inside of the libs directory:
repository_root
│
└───libs
│ └───pkg-a
│ | └───namespace
│ |
│ └───pkg-b
│ | └───namespace
│ |
│ └───pkg-c
│ └───namespace
│
└───mypy.ini
The mypy_path declaration in my mypy.ini looks something like this (but with dozens of packages):
mypy_path = $MYPY_CONFIG_FILE_DIR/libs/pkg-a:
$MYPY_CONFIG_FILE_DIR/libs/pkg-b:
$MYPY_CONFIG_FILE_DIR/libs/pkg-c:
It would be very convenient to use a glob pattern like this instead:
mypy_path = $MYPY_CONFIG_FILE_DIR/libs/*
It's more concise, and would avoid potential problems with forgetting to include a newly added package in mypy_path.
Thanks for a great tool!

Research direction
Start by tracing how glob patterns are supported for the files configuration and identify the corresponding mypy_path parsing and resolution entry points. Extend the behavior so * and ** work there too, then verify that the namespace-package monorepo example resolves all matching library directories.
