The docs for "Missing library stubs or py.typed marker" give you an option to ignore the error, but its not complete. Copying it verbatim into your code results in this error:

error: "type: ignore" comment without error code (consider "type: ignore[import-not-found]" instead)  [ignore-without-code]

The error is helpful, but just having it work right away will be better :)

This only happens because you have ignore-without-code enabled; presumably from running mypy in strict mode.

It seems fine and better to specify the exact ignore code here, though.

Thanks for the PR! ignore-without-code is disabled by default and not part of --strict, so this is only useful for a small and sophisticated part of the user base. Moreover, it is only sometimes right — the advice in this section also applies to cases where the error code would be import-untyped

I'd be in favor of adding the error code, but as @hauntsaninja noted we can't do that here. Depending on the failure reason it could be import-not-found or import-untyped, and providing either one will be confusing for users encountering the other. Using both is never correct and will report unused-ignore. So I agree it's better to avoid specifying the error code here.

OK, thanks all for the feedback! What you say makes sense, I will close the PR.
