Pytype checks and infers types for your Python code - without requiring type annotations. Pytype can:

• Lint plain Python code, flagging common mistakes such as misspelled attribute names, incorrect function calls, and much more, even across file boundaries.
• Enforce user-provided type annotations. While annotations are optional for pytype, it will check and apply them where present.
• Generate type annotations in standalone files ("pyi files"), which can be merged back into the Python source with a provided merge-pyi tool.

Pytype is a static analyzer; it does not execute the code it runs on.

Thousands of projects at Google rely on pytype to keep their Python code well-typed and error-free.
