Is it possible to make this extension work with Python 3.7?

[abceleung]

Before this extension, there were some VSCode mypy settings that allowed me to use mypy with Python 3.7.

Now these settings are gone (VSCode docs just tell me to install this extension), and this extension only works with Python >= 3.8.

What can I do (besides upgrading Python)? Thanks!

@abceleung Yes. You have two options:

1. You can use older version of the extension 2023.2.0
2. If you have your project cannot be upgraded, but you have newer python in your machine then you can do this. mypy-type-checker.interpreter to python-3.8 or greater, and set mypy-type-checker.path to ["python3.7", "-m", "mypy"]. This will allow you to use newer version of the extension with older mypy versions.

Thanks. Could you tell me where can I find the older version of the extension?

Edit: Right-click on the installed extension and select Install Another Version

Yep, I discovered that right after I made the comment, lol.
Thanks!
