This example app shows how to use generated .pyi files in order to have correct autocomplete and type checking for dynamically loaded thrift interfaces

Stubs were created with command:

thriftpyi example/interfaces --output example/app/interfaces --strict-optional

Note, that __init__.py was created by hand and not by the script. This file is responsible for the actual access to thrift interfaces.

Normally you must do import like this:

from example.app import interfaces

Imports like this will no work:

# DANGER!!! THIS WILL NOT WORK
from example.app.interfaces.todo import Todo

Although, if you still want do import things like shown above you can do it like this:

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    from example.app.interfaces.todo import Todo
