mypyc not compiling file

Question

I have a project which does not give any checking errors with mypy (Command used: mypy --strict --check-untyped-defs). I have run the file using python3 and it seems to work fine. The project is typed in most parts. When I run mypyc I end up with a "No such file" error. I am a little lost here. I have tried mypyc with smaller projects and it seemed to work fine. I am not sure what is wrong here any help would be great!

Most of the project is typed. The only few lines that is not typed is:

from skimage import io # type: ignore
# Snip
def get_image_vector(name: str) -> npt.NDArray[np.float64]:
    return io.imread(os.path.join("32k/", name), as_gray=True).flatten() # type: ignore

The output of mypyc is as below:

In the helper file to handle a few imports I have code of this sort:

import sys
import os

SCRIPT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(SCRIPT_DIR))

I have tried compiling and running with normal python and it seems to work. This is the first big scale mypyc project that I am trying so I am a little lost here. With smaller projects I did not face similar issues. Any help or inputs here is great.
