Mypy Release Notes

Next Release

Drop Support for Python 3.9

Mypy no longer supports running with Python 3.9, which has reached end-of-life. When running mypy with Python 3.10+, it is still possible to type check code that needs to support Python 3.9 with the --python-version 3.9 argument. Support for this will be dropped in the first half of 2026!

Contributed by Marc Mueller (PR 20156).

Mypy 1.19

We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.19.0 to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. You can install it as follows:

python3 -m pip install -U mypy

You can read the full documentation for this release on Read the Docs.

Python 3.9 Support Ending Soon

This is the last mypy feature release that supports Python 3.9, which reached end of life in October 2025.

Performance Improvements

• Switch to a more dynamic SCC processing logic (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 20053)
• Speed up type aliases (Ivan Levkivskyi, PR 19810)

Fixed‑Format Cache Improvements

Mypy uses a cache by default to speed up incremental runs by reusing partial results from earlier runs. Mypy 1.18 added a new binary fixed-format cache representation as an experimental feature. The feature is no longer experimental, and we are planning to enable it by default in a future mypy release (possibly 1.20), since it's faster and uses less space than the original, JSON-based cache format. Use --fixed-format-cache to enable the fixed-format cache.

Mypy now has an extra dependency on the librt PyPI package, as it's needed for cache serialization and deserialization.

Mypy ships with a tool to convert fixed-format cache files to the old JSON format. Example of how to use this:

$ python -m mypy.exportjson .mypy_cache/.../my_module.data.ff
