It allows static type checkers\u2014mypy, PyCharm, pytype, and similar tools\u2014to understand and validate the types of code that imports from backports, catching type errors at check time rather than runtime.\n\nThe stubs are generated from typeshed and serve as a bridge between the backports package (which may not have inline type annotations) and type-checking tools. Installing this package alongside backports enables your type checker to reason about backports' API without requiring backports itself to be typed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use backports and run static type checking. Install it alongside backports to give your type checker visibility into backports' API. The package is lightweight, has no dependencies, and carries a permissive license. Verify that the stubs cover the backports version and modules you actually use."},"id":"types-backports","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-backports","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-backports.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-backports/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-06-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-backports","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Typing stubs for backports"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":267279,"position":8294,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.3"}
