Pytest and mypy conflict

[0xdolan]

What is your solution for below issue:

In my project, I am using private methods. For accessing them, from another file (in same project), I need to do it as follows:

from my_project import Digit
DIGIT = Digit()
text = DIGIT._Digit__add_digit(text)

For testing with pytest, I have no issues, but mypy give me an error. It accept below way of using private methods:

NOTE: [ _Digit ] need to be removed!
text = DIGIT.__add_digit(text)

So, here is the conflict. Any idea?

Thank you!

See python/mypy#8267 - nothing pytest can do about this. Consider not using name mangling (double underscore) at all, it's regarded a bad practice by many, and single underscores to mark private attributes works just fine.

Thank you! I will take your note into considerations.
