code completion support with gi.repository in VS Code

I'm trying do code a simple app with GTK4 in Python using VS Code.

What I do:

gi.require_version("Gtk", "4.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk

I don't have any auto completion or type hints in my IDE because gi.repository uses dynamic imports, is there any way to change this behavior?

Solution

  • In Python typing annotations can be written separately from the main module code (in .pyi files or as a stubs module).

    Run $ pip install PyGObject-stubs to install 3d-party type annotations and reload VS Code window
