It allows static type checkers to understand and validate the types of cryptography's public API when used in code, enabling IDE autocompletion and catching type errors before runtime.\n\nThe package is generated from typeshed, the community-maintained repository of type stubs for popular Python libraries. However, the cryptography package itself has included native type annotations since version 3.4.4, so this stub package is now primarily useful only if constrained to an older version of cryptography. The description explicitly recommends uninstalling this package if using cryptography 3.4.4 or newer.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are locked to cryptography < 3.4.4. The cryptography package has included its own type stubs since version 3.4.4, making this package redundant for modern setups. The package has not been updated since 2022-11-08, and the description explicitly recommends uninstalling it if using cryptography 3.4.4 or newer."},"id":"types-cryptography","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-cryptography","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-cryptography.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-cryptography/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-11-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-cryptography","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Typing stubs for cryptography"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2132004,"position":3267,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.3.23.2"}
