This PR modifies numpy's mypy plugin such that it manages all platform-specific extended-precision types (e.g.
float128
). More specifically, it removes all extended-precision types unavailable to the platform in question, rather than adding them.The advantage of their removal (rather than addition) is that aforementioned types will still be available for use even without enabling the plugin. On the flip side, this does mean that, without the plugin, every single extended-precision type is "available" on every single platform.
The plugin can be enabled via one's
mypy.ini
file:Examples
With the plugin enabled.
