When installed, it allows mypy, pyright, and other type checkers to understand the types and signatures of polib's public API, so you can catch type errors in your code before runtime.\n\nThis is a pure metadata package with no runtime dependencies\u2014it only provides type information. It's part of the typeshed project, the community-maintained repository of type stubs for popular packages that don't ship their own. The stubs are kept in sync with polib 1.2.x and tested against current versions of mypy and pyright.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use polib and want static type checking. It has no runtime cost, no dependencies, and is actively maintained. Install it alongside polib and configure your type checker to use it. If you don't use a type checker or don't use polib, it provides no value."},"id":"types-polib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-polib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-polib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-polib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-18","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-polib","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Typing stubs for polib"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":243375,"position":8806,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0.20260518"}
