It provides three main capabilities: finding stub files by module name, parsing stubs to extract defined names and their metadata (including whether they are exported), and resolving names to their definitions even when those definitions span multiple stub files.\n\nThe package bundles a copy of typeshed and exposes it through a SearchContext API that lets you customize which typeshed version to use, which search paths to query, and how to interpret version and platform checks in stubs. It's designed for tools that need to inspect type annotations at runtime or build time\u2014static analyzers, stub validators, and introspection tools\u2014rather than for end-user type checking.","worth_installing":"Yes. Low install friction, permissive license, active maintenance, no vulnerabilities, and a clear use case for tools that need programmatic access to typeshed. Install if you're building a static analyzer, stub validator, or type introspection tool; skip if you only need type checking for your own code."},"id":"typeshed-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/typeshed-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/typeshed-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/typeshed-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"typeshed-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library for accessing stubs in typeshed."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1992949,"position":3376,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.13.0"}
