It provides type annotations for PySocks so that tools like mypy and pyright can understand and validate how you're using the library in your code, catching type errors before runtime.\n\nThe stubs are generated and maintained as part of the typeshed project, which is the canonical repository for type information for the Python standard library and popular third-party packages. This package is a thin distribution layer that makes those stubs available via pip. It has no runtime dependencies and is designed purely to support development-time type checking.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use PySocks and want static type checking. Install it alongside your type checker (mypy or pyright) to get accurate type validation for PySocks code. It has no runtime cost and is actively maintained. If you don't use a type checker or don't use PySocks, there's no reason to install it."},"id":"types-pysocks","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-pysocks","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-pysocks.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-pysocks/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-18","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-PySocks","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Typing stubs for PySocks"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":583727,"position":5891,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.1.20260518"}
