Mypy missing imports

Generate missing imports excludes for mypy.

Mypy’s handling of missing imports can be cumbersome:

• many packages don’t have type definitions included, though this number is hopefully decreasing over time
• mypy will show an error like

  Skipping analyzing '<module>': found module but no type hints or library stubs or

  Cannot find implementation or library stub for module named <module>

  if type definitions aren’t found or the module is not resolved.

• Globally turning on the ignore_missing_imports option is not recommended.
• The recommended option (in case you cannot find a type definition or write your own) is to exclude each such library individually in mypy.ini, which gets annoying.

This tool lets you handle this more efficiently.

• Remember to add warn_unused_configs=true to your mypy config to warn you if these excludes get out of date.
