Pimoroni (micro)python stubs

[North101]

When developing it'd be great to have stub files for all the modules. I wonder if it is possible to autogenerate them when building the modules.

https://github.com/cpwood/Pico-Stub/blob/main/micropython-stubber.md#generating-the-stubs This allows you to create a stub file by running the code on the board.

I looked into stubber but I couldn't get it to do anything much of anything, and my understanding is that - at best - it can only glean very superficial details about compiled-in C-modules which aren't introspectable for any type information, docstrings, etc.

I have started a stubs repository here https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico-stubs

I need to figure out how to make this installable and - of course - add all the many, many missing modules.

The following works for me:

In VS Code I have these extensions installed:

• Pylance
• Python

In my VS Code project i have this file: .vscode/settings.json

{
    "python.languageServer": "Pylance",
    "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "basic",
    "python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {
        "reportMissingModuleSource": "none"
    },
    "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
        "<full_path_to>/pimoroni-pico-stubs",
    ],
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
    "python.formatting.provider": "none",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
}

For rp2 stubs I install micropython-rp2-stubs from pip and then I add this location pip3 show micropython-rp2-stubs | grep Location to python.analysis.extraPaths

Unfortunately additions to the stdlib / builtins won't show
