Whats the difference between this Extension and the microsoft pylance?

[shanaor]

and does the pylance check the type across all files including from the imports ?

[karthiknadig]

This extension is based on mypy type checker. mypy is a Python based linter that does type checking. Since it is written in Python it requires Python to run. This extension only supports linting and type checking.

Pylance uses a different type checker, in addition it also provides completions, hover, go definition , etc. it can run without Python.

[shanaor]

so in the end pylance does the same as mypy and more?

and does ny of them do typechecking inrelation to imported files\functions?

Both can do this.
