Show HN: A cross-platform wrapper for pyright that makes it less noisy

This was mainly a fun weekend project to play around with Python's asyncio! But it also scratched an itch.

pyright (a static type checker for Python) is far noisier than it needs to be:

  $ pyright
  WARNING: there is a new pyright version available (v1.1.300 -> v1.1.301).
  Please install the new version or set PYRIGHT_PYTHON_FORCE_VERSION to `latest`
  No configuration file found.
  pyproject.toml file found at /projects/pyright_polite.

  Assuming Python platform Linux

  stubPath /projects/pyright_polite/typings is not a valid directory.
  Searching for source files

  pyright 1.1.300

pyright-polite reduces the output to this:

  $ pyright-polite
  Found 7 source files
  0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 informations

It takes the same arguments as pyright, supports "--watch" mode, and shows diagnostics with the same colorisation.

If anyone else happens to get mildly irritated by pyright's output then perhaps give this a try :-)
