Including path information of types in reveal_type

[rsokl]

Is there any way to configure pyright so that reveal_type always includes the full import path information of a type?

E.g. if I do

from hydra_zen import builds

class Builds: ...

reveal_type(builds(int))

the revealed type is type[Builds[type[int]]], but it is hydra_zen.typing.Builds, not the locally-defined Builds.

I realize that reveal_type is not really part of the public API, so I totally understand if there's just no way to change the behavior here.

No, there's currently no configuration option for this. Adding such an option is possible, but I'd want to see a signal from other pyright users (e.g. upvotes on this thread) to justify such an addition.

Out of curiosity, why do you want this functionality?

If you're using an editor with language server capabilities, you can use the "Go To Type Definition" command to take you to the type declaration. That's the approach I take in the rare case where it's not clear to me from the reveal_type output where the type is declared.

Out of curiosity, why do you want this functionality?

I have a rather niche application where I am doing some analysis of usage patterns of my library in client packages. I am interested to know how frequently users are encountering various types from my, and other libraries. It turns out that I hit the aforementioned ambiguity just enough that it muddies this analysis, and being able to include path information would resolve this.

This is all being done programmatically, so the editor capabilities don't help here.
