Pimoroni Pico MicroPython Stubs

This repository contains type stubs that help you write code for Pimoroni Pico MicroPython's many built-in modules.

Type stubs include details about the constants, functions, classes and methods available in each module, and what arguments they accept.

VSCode Setup

Required Extensions

You must install the VSCode Python extension and additionally Pylance to support type hints.

To install extensions, press Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P and in the pop-up box type "Extensions" and select "Extensions: Install Extensions".

A search box should open on the left-hand side of your editor, find and install the following:

• :link: Python
• :link: Pylance

VSCode Settings

To open VSCode settings press Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P and in the pop-up box type "Settings" and choose "Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)".

If the file is empty you can go right ahead and add the lines below:

{
    "python.languageServer": "Pylance",
    "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "basic",
    "python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {
        "reportMissingModuleSource": "none"
    },
    "python.analysis.typeshedPaths": [
        "./typings/",
    ],
}

MicroPython stubs

To get MicroPython type hints you'll need to install the following package into the ./typings directory of your project.

If the terminal is not open press Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P and in the pop-up box type "Terminal" and select "Terminal: Create New Terminal (In Active Workspace)".

Finally in the terminal run the following command:

pip install pimoroni-pico-stubs --target ./typings --no-user
