Assign the platform-specific ``c_intp`` precision via a mypy plugin | ||
------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
The mypy_ plugin, introduced in `numpy/numpy#17843`_, has again been expanded: | ||
the plugin now is now responsible for setting the platform-specific precision | ||
of `numpy.ctypeslib.c_intp`, the latter being used as data type for various | ||
`numpy.ndarray.ctypes` attributes. | ||
|
||
Without the plugin, aforementioned type will default to `ctypes.c_int64`. | ||
|
||
To enable the plugin, one must add it to their mypy `configuration file`_: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: ini | ||
[mypy] | ||
plugins = numpy.typing.mypy_plugin | ||
.. _mypy: http://mypy-lang.org/ | ||
.. _configuration file: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config_file.html | ||
.. _`numpy/numpy#17843`: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/17843 |
