Generate code automatically via tools provided by JetBrains?

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community.git /tmp/idea
mkdir /tmp/out
for typelib in Atk GLib GModule GObject Gdk GdkPixbuf Gio Gtk Pango; do
    python3 /tmp/idea/python/helpers/generator3.py -d /tmp/out -x gi.repository.$typelib $(python3 -c "from gi.repository import $typelib; print($typelib.__path__[-1])")
done

And stubs can be found under /tmp/out. Currently this repository seems to be much incomplete?

Yeah, it's work in progress: pygobject/pgi-docgen#176

[AdamVerner]

what about Fakegir?

[ju1ius]

@AdamVerner Fakegir generates stubs from gir xml files, while the JetBrains tool generates them by doing a runtime introspection. Last time I checked, the stubs generated by the JetBrains tool were way more exhaustive and accurate.

year 2020 now, still find you tips works fine with litlte mod:

if you have pycharm installed, no need to clone the intellij-community repo.

just replace the command below

python3 /tmp/idea/python/helpers/generator3/__main__.py

with

PYTHONPATH=$HOME/Apps/pycharm-community/plugins/python-ce/helpers python3 -m generator3

$HOME/Apps/pycharm-community is the pycharm installation path of mine, please use your own path.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community.git /tmp/idea
mkdir /tmp/out
for typelib in Atk GLib GModule GObject Gdk GdkPixbuf Gio Gtk Pango; do
    python3  /tmp/idea/python/helpers/generator3/__main__.py -d /tmp/out -p gi.repository.$typelib $(python3 -c "import gi; gi.require_versions({'Atk': '1.0', 'GModule': '2.0', 'Gdk': '3.0', 'GdkPixbuf': '2.0', 'Gtk': '3.0', 'Pango': '1.0'}); from gi.repository import $typelib; print($typelib.__path__[-1])")
done

make pyCharm can use it

mv /tmp/out/gi ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gi-stubs

---

but there's little troubleshoot:
we need let generator3 run gi.require_versions({'Atk': '1.0', 'GModule': '2.0', 'Gdk': '3.0', 'GdkPixbuf': '2.0', 'Gtk': '3.0', 'Pango': '1.0'}) before using the $typelib

otherwise there will be a warning:
PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

anyway, the generated stubs works quite well, in my word, it is better than PyGObject-stubs.
since PyGObject-stubs provides no param info.

update:

I’ve make a new repo and pushed the auto generated stubs:

https://github.com/ttys3/pygobject-stubs

[dsvensson]

@ttys3 are these supposed to work with pyright?

[danyeaw]

@lazka What do you think about merging @ttys3's fork so that we can have a new PyPI release?

[lovetox]

I will close this, stubs like this can be generated with generate script in this repo for modules which users need. Apart from that the real signatures have to be added manually.
