Stub Generator Tool about mypy HOT 5 CLOSED

I'll try my hand at this. I think I can do this, at least for pure/mixed python modules, don't know about Pure C modules though.

from mypy.

I have already started this at https://github.com/ashleyh/mypy-stubgen but
feel free to improve it! I can tell you some things that need fixing if you
like....

Well, what needs fixing? This may sound strange, but I prefer being told what to do, rather than trying to improve things on my own.
Edit - Looking at the stubgen layout, wouldn't it be better to actually parse the python files, the same way that mypy does? Simply importing files can be.. problematic if modules are made to run processes and such on import.

I actually just added some issues to the mypy-stubgen issue tracker ;-)

I also added a link to the code on the mypy wiki page.

Parsing Python files could be useful for things like attributes of Python classes. Doing the analysis at runtime can be useful, as it lets the tool also inspect C extension modules and it can inspect the runtime types of variables, etc.

I've reimplemented stub generation (https://github.com/JukkaL/mypy/blob/master/mypy/stubgen.py). It actually has two stub generators, one for Python modules and one for C modules. It generates Python module stubs from the AST, and it uses runtime inspection for C modules. It only supports Python 3 as of now. I've already generated a bunch of (dynamically typed) stubs for modules such as zlib, xml.etree, etc.
