Up to 30 errors as of d6ebd06. This will happen...adding more type hints gives Also, some of the issues below will be fixed when #3916 is merged. 30 errors in 3 files (check 10 source files) |

I was looking for some more information on how to test my fixes. Is there something more extensive to ensure I'm not breaking anything, other than running mypy? I'm quite new to python, and I just wanted to ensure I'm making correct changes. Any advice on this one? |

Hi @AXRegister , thanks very much for your interest in contributing! To test locally, you can try installing the package locally and running the unit tests. Like this: # install the Python package
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
cd python-package
python setup.py install
# test the Python package
cd ..
pytest tests/python_package_testIf those work ok, you can have some confidence that your changes won't break existing functionality. When you open a pull request, a much more extensive set of checks (checking different combinations of Python version, compiler, and operating system) will run automatically and might suggest additional changes. If you run into any problems, please either ask a question here or open a pull request and ask questions there. |

This issue has been open with the label I opened some PRs for this tonight, and plan to finish it over the next few days. I'd like to enable Line 79 in 67b4205 |

8 errors as of 8f577de Found 8 errors in 2 files (checked 9 source files)That's especially good given that the type hints are so much more complete in the project than they were the last time I posted an update here back in February: #3867 (comment) Getting close! |

I keep looking this up every time I run into it, so wanted to put it in writing here. For almost all cases, the There's one case where that isn't true. For the following specific combination,
That's been true since support for SHAP contributions on sparse matrices was added in #3000. Here's the code path where that happens: LightGBM/python-package/lightgbm/basic.py Line 1328 in 6f19edd LightGBM/python-package/lightgbm/basic.py Lines 1361 to 1375 in 6f19edd LightGBM/python-package/lightgbm/basic.py Line 1472 in 6f19edd That one possibility means that everything handling the result of a For example, this added some complexity to the Dask interface: LightGBM/python-package/lightgbm/dask.py Lines 957 to 1027 in 6f19edd For the purpose of this issue and #3756, this can be handled with some mix of the approaches listed at https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/type_narrowing.html. Longer-term, I think it's worth investigating whether it's possible to return an array type for that combination. Although that'd have to be done carefully, since (for example), I couldn't quite figure out from the description on #3000 why the decision was made to return a list. @guolinke or @imatiach-msft do you remember? |

Motivation
mypyis a static analysis tool for type checking Python code.
