It allows static type checkers like mypy, PyCharm, and pytype to understand and validate code that uses filelock's locking primitives. The package is sourced from typeshed, the community repository of type stubs for the Python standard library and popular third-party packages.\n\nHowever, this package is largely obsolete for current users: filelock has included its own type annotations since version 3.3.0, making separate type stubs unnecessary. The package has not been updated since June 2022 and exists primarily for users stuck on older filelock versions that predate built-in type support.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are locked into filelock < 3.3.0. For any recent filelock version, the package is redundant\u2014filelock itself provides type stubs. The package has not been updated since June 2022, and the description explicitly recommends uninstalling it if you use filelock 3.3.0 or newer. Install only if you have a specific constraint on an older filelock version."},"id":"types-filelock","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-filelock","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-filelock.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-filelock/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-06-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-filelock","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Typing stubs for filelock"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":506179,"position":6288,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.7"}
