This extension is supported for all actively supported versions of the python language (i.e., python >= 3.7).
The bundled mypy is only used if there is no installed version of mypy found in the selected python environment.
Minimum supported version of mypy is 1.0.0.
Usage
Once installed in Visual Studio Code, mypy will be automatically executed when you open a Python file.
If you want to disable mypy, you can disable this extension per workspace in Visual Studio Code.
