In my personal experience codebases using MyPy tend to be considerably worse than codebases that don't.

By using a static type checker on a dynamically typed language, you have admitted you don't know what are you doing right of the bat. This means the software engineers in the project are very bad and therefore the code quality overall will also be bad.

Tools like MyPy exist to make Python appear to be more like Java to help Java developers, who aren't willing to learn how to code in a different programming paradigm.

That code will always be far worse than Python code written using the Python development paradigms.

Conversely, I do think you're very bad and don't have much experience with large python codebases.

For example the suggestion to split and use microservices makes no sense. Microservices are even harder to refactor.


What are some examples of popular python libraries that use this ideal python development paradigm?


Most of the Python libraries that are not locked to specific versions of Python, which is often the case with a lot of the badly written ML libraries.


Actually now I'm thinking you might be trolling.
