Obtaining a Stubs Package

Code auto-completions and type annotations in your editor require one of the following packages to function. Each package has its own installation guide.

PyGObject-Stubs

PyGObject provides a Python package that gives you simple auto-completions. It's not perfect - not all gi repositories are type-annotated or docstringed. This works if you're planning to stick to the documentation of GTK and Fabric.

FakeGir

FakeGir is a Python script that generates an overrides file for your editor to use; it's not considered a real stubs package because you will have to configure your editor to use the overrides file instead of the hints from the code.

GenGir

GenGir generates a stubs package and installs it for you, whether for global Python packages or a virtual environment. Also the maintainer's personal favorite tool out of these options.

Fabric Stubs

There is an ongoing process to write a stubs package made to be used with Fabric based on a refined version of the stubs produced by GenGir. This package is not yet public, though that may change in the future...
