botocore-stubs
Type annotations and code completion for botocore
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use botocore directly and want static type checking. The package is actively maintained, has no runtime dependencies, and is MIT-licensed. Install it as a development dependency alongside mypy or pyright. The only consideration is ensuring your type checker is configured correctly to use the stubs.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Type checking requires mypy or pyright to be installed separately.
- Low friction install with no runtime dependencies.

pip install botocore-stubs
# In your Python file, import botocore normally:
import botocore.session

- Compatibility with IDE integrations beyond mypy and pyright.
What it is and what it does
botocore-stubs is a type stub package that provides static type information for botocore, the low-level AWS SDK library. It enables developers using mypy or pyright to catch type errors during development rather than at runtime when working with AWS services through botocore. The package is generated as part of the mypy_boto3_builder project and maintains version parity with botocore releases.
The stubs work by providing type annotations that IDEs and type checkers can use to offer code completion and validate function calls against the actual botocore API. Since it contains only type information (no runtime code), installation adds no runtime dependencies to your project, making it a lightweight addition to development environments.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocompletion and type hints when writing botocore code in editors that support mypy or pyright.
- Catch AWS API misuse (wrong parameter types, missing required arguments) during static analysis before deployment.
- Maintain type safety in projects that use botocore directly rather than the higher-level boto3 wrapper.
- Integrate botocore type checking into CI/CD pipelines using mypy or pyright for automated validation.
