|
||||
|

This generates `myschema_capnp.pyi` — a Python type stub file that type checkers can use. Runtime import (`import myschema_capnp`) is handled automatically by pycapnp's import hook.
|
||||
|
||||
### Generated output
|
||||
### Multi-file projects
|
||||
|
||||
For a schema like:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
capnp compile -opy --src-prefix=. src/schema.capnp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Cross-file type references automatically produce relative imports in the generated stubs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
|
||||
Input (`addressbook.capnp`):
|
||||
```capnp
|
||||
struct Person {
|
||||
name @0 :Text;
|
||||
age @1 :Int32;
|
||||
}
|
||||
phones @2 :List(PhoneNumber);
|
||||
|
||||
enum Gender { male @0; female @1; }
|
||||
struct PhoneNumber {
|
||||
number @0 :Text;
|
||||
type @1 :Type;
|
||||
enum Type { mobile @0; home @1; work @2; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|

`myschema_capnp.pyi`:
