MonkeyType VS Flake8

MonkeyType collects runtime types of function arguments and return values, and can automatically generate stub files or add type annotations directly to your Python code based on the types collected at runtime.

To alleviate the burden of manual annotation, MonkeyType offers a clever solution. It dynamically observes the types entering and leaving functions during code execution. Based on this observation, it generates a preliminary draft of type annotations. This significantly reduces the effort needed to add type hints to legacy code.

https://github.com/instagram/MonkeyType can perform the call logging, and can export a static typing file which is used by mypy, but also e.g. PyCharm. It doesn't expose such fine grained types, but you could build that based on the logged data.

Which introduces MonkeyType, a python library that generatics static type annotations by collecting runtime types.

Not sure if you're joking but there is something similar for python developed by a rather well known company https://github.com/Instagram/MonkeyType

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

Flake8. This library is a wrapper around pycodestyle (PEP8), pyflakes, and Ned Batchelder’s McCabe script. It is a great toolkit for checking your code base against coding style (PEP8), programming errors (like SyntaxError, NameError, etc) and to check cyclomatic complexity.

Flake8 combines the functionalities of the PyFlakes, pycodestyle, and McCabe libraries. It provides a streamlined approach to code linting by detecting coding errors, enforcing style conventions, and measuring code complexity.

He made yesqa and pyupgrade (among others), and also works on flake8. His main job is for https://sentry.io/.

https://github.com/psf/black it’s a PEP8 compliant formatter for Python codebases. If you don’t like auto formatting files you can use https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8 it just lists out all of the style issues so you can fix them manually.

I have no stake in that, but my observation is that the actual discussion appears to have both supporters and detractors rather than overwhelming support. Either way, it has nothing to do with whether or not it is realistic to say that Ruff is the "one Python linter to rule them all".
