python
mypy 1.16 has new dependency pathspec
Documentation
mypy 1.15 does not have a dependency on python package pathspec but mypy 1.16 does. Is this something you usually document (in release notes?) or somewhere else?
No, like most Python packages, we document our dependencies in the packaging metadata
The --exclude-gitignore is a very handy feature. But if that's the only reason for requiring pathspec, and it isn't enabled by default, then why is is a required dependency 🤔?
Also note that the last pathspec release was at Dec 10, 2023, and uses a MPL-2.0 license ~, which is incompatible with MIT I believe~, but that's not a problem apparently.
Wait is there some issue with pathspec / licensing?
(We could change things around, I have some gitignore code I wrote lying around somewhere that is faster and I think slightly more correct than pathspec, I just had too much going to make it a real open source project)

No sorry for the confusion, I thought so at first, but I was wrong, and they're sufficiently compatible (open-source licenses are difficult apparently)

You're a responsible and trustworthy open source maintainer as far as I have seen, so yes, I would definitely prefer that. But I also understand the maintenance burden that comes with an open-source project (a bit too well), so you could also consider bundling it with mypy.
There's also https://github.com/mherrmann/gitignore_parser, which uses an MIT license, is very lightweight (224 LOC), has a recent release, and claims to be spec-compliant.

Where can I see that?
Edit: Oh, in mypy-requirements.txt / pyproject.toml / setup.py
The reason I asked was because I had to update my nix-shell environment and our mypy nix-package. Nothing else :)
