It provides type annotations for shapely's API, allowing tools like mypy, pyright, and ty to catch type errors in code that uses shapely for geometric operations. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are tested against multiple type checkers to ensure accuracy.\n\nThis package is a pure annotation layer\u2014it has no runtime behavior and does not replace shapely itself. You install it alongside shapely to enable type checking during development. It depends only on numpy, matching shapely's own dependency, and requires Python 3.10 or later.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use shapely and want static type checking. Install it as a development dependency alongside shapely 2.1.*. It has no runtime cost, low friction, and is actively maintained by typeshed. No security concerns. Only skip it if you do not use a type checker or do not use shapely."},"id":"types-shapely","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-shapely","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/types-shapely.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/types-shapely/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"types-shapely","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Typing stubs for shapely"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":719731,"position":5239,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0.20260728"}
