It provides type annotations for channels so that tools like mypy and pyright can understand and validate code that uses Channels' WebSocket consumers, async utilities, and ASGI integration. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are generated from typeshed's authoritative stub definitions.\n\nYou install this package alongside channels itself, and your type checker automatically uses the stubs to catch type errors in code that imports from channels. It depends on django-stubs and asgiref, matching the type annotation needs of those underlying libraries. The package targets channels 4.3.* specifically, so version alignment matters.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Django Channels and run a static type checker. This is a low-friction stub package with no security issues, permissive licensing, and active maintenance. Install it whenever you have channels in your project and want type checking to work correctly\u2014it's a straightforward dependency with no runtime overhead."},"id":"types-channels","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-channels","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-channels.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-channels/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-18","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-channels","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Typing stubs for channels"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":268636,"position":8271,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.3.0.20260518"}
