Mypy error: Module "datadog" does not explicitly export attribute "statsd" [attr-defined]

from datadog import statsd

Mypy nags:

foo.py:1: error: Module "datadog" does not explicitly export attribute "statsd"  [attr-defined]

That's because datadog.__init__ doesn't explicitly expose the module imported in its __all__ = []. See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line.html#cmdoption-mypy-no-implicit-reexport.

mypy --strict enables that check, so I assume others will bump into it, too.

datadog==0.49.1
mypy=1.10.0

Your bot here is quite aggressive. A bit ridiculous to close tickets after 30d. 180d or such would make more sense.

Yes, I believe the issue is still valid.

I can confirm that the issue is still reproducible on
mypy==1.11.2, datadog==0.50.0 and python 3.12.

If you want to avoid # noqa or # type:ignore use

from datadog.dogstatsd.base import statsd

The same happens with Pyright. As an alternative to the __all__ you can also use one of the import forms that explicitly re-export symbols defined in the official python typing team guide here. I will send a PR that does that shortly.
