Stub typings for the FME Python API
The FME Python API is a compiled shared object (.so) library without docstrings. Adding this stub file to a projects typings will allow your IDE to populate the autocompletions and intellisense (e.g. pylance / pycharm)
Clone this repo into a ./typings directory of your project. If you have a different setup this may have been set with "python.analysis.stubPath": "typings".
In your own code then you can either:
import fmeobjects
fmeobjects.FMEArc()
or
from fmeobjects import FMEArc
FMEArc()
As this stub was created with a structured hierarchy to match the API categories, if you start using a class or method e.g. FMEDonut without importing it your editor may choose to autoadd the appropriate import. In this case it would add:
from fmeobjects.geometries.areas import FMEDonut
which would correctly autocomplete the methods and give intelisense but means nothing to the executing code. You will get errors to nudge you like Import "fmeobjects.geometries.areas" could not be resolved from source which alert you to the mismatch.
You can avoid this if you clone the 'compiled' branch of this repo which flattens the code into the root init to match the source.
