Path to executable of MyPy plugin for PyCharm

Question

I am trying to use the MyPy Plugin for Pycharm by Leinardi . I installed it via the official steps . In the settings, I am able to see Mypy, but "Path to Mypy exectuable:" is not set (there is only "Auto-detected:").

What do I put into "Path to Mypy exectuable:" - where is the Mypy exectuable installed to by default?

I am using a conda environment - I don't know if this is important. Also, when pressing "Test", I get the error, you can see below.

Answer 1

If you're on Mac or Windows:

where mypy

If you're on Linux:

which mypy

Then just copy and paste one of the outputs into the location in PyCharm.

Edit:

Based on your comment, which says that using a command above indicates that no executable could be found, I suggest looking at your IDE and system. It may be that MyPy is not installed:

If you don't see the pop up like in the image above, you can use steps here for Anaconda: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/mypy or uninstall the plugin and re-install it, allowing you to see the PyCharm popup.

Then you should be able to see it do its magic.

Answer 2

I had the same case as you and could solve the problem after I have installed mypy not only as a plugin but also with pip install in my virtual environment.
