0.22.1 wheel lacks typing stubs

[mjpieters]

The tarball for version 0.22.1 on PyPI includes the typing stub information now:

However, the wheel on PyPI does not include these:

Can this please be fixed?

For now, the work-around is to force PIP to install from the tarball; the following command assumes that the dependencies are already installed correctly, it only re-installs thefuzz from the tarball to build a cached wheel with typing stubs:

pip install --force-reinstall --no-binary thefuzz --no-deps 'thefuzz==0.22.1'

To verify the stubs are now installed you can use:

python -c 'from importlib.resources import files;print(*(f.name for f in files("thefuzz").iterdir() if f.suffix in (".pyi", ".typed")), sep="\n")'

This should print out:

fuzz.pyi
process.pyi
py.typed
utils.pyi

(moved here from #67 for visibility)

for some reason, the pip install --force-reinstall --no-binary thefuzz --no-deps 'thefuzz==0.22.1 doesn't work for me =\

I have locally verified the cause. Setuptools is pinned to "68.2.2", which doesn't include type information in the wheel by default. Pinning it to the latest version "70.0.0" fixes the issue. A fix as soon as possible would be appreciated, as this is causing annoyances in a CI pipeline I manage.

uv pip install --force-reinstall --no-binary thefuzz --no-deps 'thefuzz==0.22.1

Works for me. Thanks for the Informations @mjpieters 💌
