Details

I was quite surprised that this package is called mypy and not python-mypy. My confusion even increased when I saw the package python-mypy_extensions.
Would it make sense to rename the package?
Note: The package on Debian/Ubuntu is also called mypy.
This task depends upon

mypy is a program, python-mypy_extensions is a library, so the naming is correct.

I'm a bit torn. See `python-tox` and `python-black`. `python-mypy` would make a lot of sense as well and it's strictly tied to the python ecosystem.

There are many inconsistencies in our repos, for eg. pyalpm is library and is not called python-pyalpm, but in this case it's a bit ambiguous, so I think you can do it either way.

I think `pyalpm` belongs in the category of "predates the dinosaurs" and the current guidelines wasn't there when it was implemented.

Still, it could, and IMO should, be renamed...

Thats beside the point of this bugreport :)

I am just pointing out that there are far greater inconsistencies, and in this case it even is ambiguous, so it could go either way.
