Error messages about stdlib modules not consistent #5351
Description
Using mypy from master, reporting a usability bug.
Mypy seems to recognize standard library imports:
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/dns/entropy.py:23: error: No library stub file for standard library module 'dummy_threading'
But when I got an error message about "encodings.idna", I didn't think it was a stdlib module since Mypy used a different wording:
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/dns/name.py:23: error: Cannot find module named 'encodings.idna'
But encodings.idna is in Python! See https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/encodings/idna.py
Thank you for your patience, I hope the bug report is good, please let me know if you need further information.

Hmm, it looks like the
encodingsmodule is missing from the list of standard library modules located here -- probably an oversight?https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/master/mypy/moduleinfo.py
In any case, do you want to try submitting a PR for this? I think the only change you'll need to make is adding the string
"encodings"to the appropriate list.(Or alternatively, if you're feeling up to it, you could try contributing stubs for the
encodingmodule to typeshed. That's a much bigger task though.)Add distutils and encodings as stdlib modules (#5372)
