To Reproduce

1. pip install numpy mypy
2. echo "import numpy" > test.py
3. mypy test.py --follow-imports error

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: mypy 1.10.0 (compiled: yes)
• Mypy command-line flags: --follow-imports error
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): N/A
• Python version used: 3.10.6
• Operating system and version: MacOS Monterey (12.5.1)

I also got the same error running stubgen on a package, when an (non-direct) ancestor dependency used numpy>=2.0.

Thanks for the issue.

I minimised the repro, in case someone has time to look into it:

rm -rf repro
mkdir repro
mkdir repro/np
echo 'from .arraysetops import UniqueAllResult' > repro/np/__init__.pyi
echo '
from typing import Generic, NamedTuple, TypeVar
from np import does_not_exist
from np.missing import also_missing

_SCT = TypeVar("_SCT", bound=does_not_exist)

class UniqueAllResult(NamedTuple, Generic[_SCT]):
    values: also_missing[_SCT]
' > repro/np/arraysetops.pyi
touch repro/np/py.typed

PYTHONPATH=repro mypy -c 'import np'

[hauntsaninja]

(also standard disclaimer: a global --follow-imports flag is fairly niche and in practice I've seen more misuse of it than legitimate use)

[rgommers]

Thank you for looking into this @hauntsaninja. Would you mind clarifying what does_not_exist and also_missing are in the numpy stub file? It looks from your reproducer that there's something to fix there for us in numpy, and it has to do with numpy.generic, numpy.number, typing.Generic and/or numpy._typing.NDArray`. But they all seem to exist as far as I can tell.

[hauntsaninja]

@rgommers I don't think there's anything for numpy to do here, this just needs to be fixed in mypy. --follow-imports error is an unusual setting that makes mypy not resolve imports.

That said, there is one unrelated case of a missing import in numpy's type stubs that would be good to fix:

numpy/ma/extras.pyi:2: error: Cannot find implementation or library stub for module named "numpy.lib.index_tricks"  [import-not-found]

[rgommers]

Thanks @hauntsaninja. I opened a PR to fix that issue, it should land in numpy 2.0.1.

Running stubgen over from numpy import array also fails with this error.

Running attached test.txt Windows batch script results in;

Python 3.11.9
mypy==1.10.0
mypy-extensions==1.0.0
numpy==2.0.0
typing_extensions==4.12.2

If this helps at all, stubgen from mypy < 1.5.0 does not produce this error when generating stubs for modules that use numpy 2.0.0.
