This changes the docs page https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#finding-imports to mention the
--no-silence-site-packages
option.We (package maintainers of stripe-python) had been reading the description of
--follow-imports="normal"
and for a long time were struggling to understand why the type errors we were seeing when running mypy locally on our project weren't showing up for our users and squaring that away with the description on the docs page. Seeing--no-silence-site-packages
mentioned on this docs page would have helped us understand this behavior sooner.
