I have a package which uses eth_abi, and which lints its code with mypy. Telling mypy to ignore the eth_abi import (import ... # type: ignore) obviously works fine, but when I remove that ignore, I get the following message:
test.py:13: error: Cannot find module named 'eth_abi'
test.py:13: note: (Perhaps setting MYPYPATH or using the "--ignore-missing-imports" flag would help)
The line in question is simply:
from eth_abi import encode_abi
How can it be fixed?
Per PEP 484, include a file py.typed in the package. In my local environment, I was able to solve the problem by simply doing touch ~/.pythonz/lib/python3.7/site-packages/eth_abi-1.2.0-py3.7.egg/eth_abi/py.typed.
