It provides type annotations for factory-boy's public API, allowing tools like mypy, PyCharm, and pytype to understand and validate code that uses factory-boy for generating test fixtures.\n\nThe package is a thin, zero-runtime-cost addition to your development environment. Once installed alongside factory-boy, it enables your type checker to catch type errors in fixture definitions and usage without requiring factory-boy itself to be rewritten with inline type hints. It supports Python 3.7 through 3.11 and is maintained actively.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use factory-boy in a type-checked codebase. It has no runtime overhead, low installation friction, and permissive licensing. The only caveat is that the latest release is from March 2023, so verify stub coverage matches your factory-boy version before relying on it for strict type enforcement."},"id":"types-factory-boy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-factory-boy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-factory-boy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-factory-boy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-03-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-factory-boy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Typing stubs for factory-boy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":457278,"position":6548,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.1"}
