It allows static type checkers like mypy and PyCharm to understand Flask's API and catch type errors in code that uses Flask. The package is sourced from the typeshed project and depends on three related type stub packages: types-Jinja2, types-Werkzeug, and types-click.\n\nHowever, this package is largely superseded: Flask has included native type annotations since version 2.0, making types-Flask redundant for modern Flask installations. The package is maintained through typeshed but should only be installed if you are using Flask 1.x or need stubs for an older Flask version.","worth_installing":"No for most users. If you are using Flask 2.0 or later, Flask includes native type annotations and you should not install this package. Only install types-Flask if you are maintaining Flask 1.x code and need type-checking support; otherwise, upgrade Flask and rely on its built-in stubs."},"id":"types-flask","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-flask","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-flask.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-flask/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-11-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-Flask","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Typing stubs for Flask"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1432193,"position":3910,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.6"}
