It is part of the typeshed project and allows type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand the types and signatures of olefile's API, catching type errors during development rather than at runtime.\n\nThe package contains no executable code\u2014only type annotations (.pyi files)\u2014and has no runtime dependencies. It is tested against olefile 0.47.x and validated with mypy 1.20.0 and pyright 1.1.408. Installation is optional but recommended for projects that use olefile and want static type checking.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use olefile and want static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low install friction, and is actively maintained as part of typeshed. Install it alongside olefile in projects that enforce type safety; skip it only if you do not use a type checker or do not use olefile."},"id":"types-olefile","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-olefile","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-olefile.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-olefile/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-08","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-olefile","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Typing stubs for olefile"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":135208,"position":11448,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.47.0.20260508"}
