Typestubs for google-re2
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use google-re2 and want static type checking. The package is lightweight, permissively licensed, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem for typed Python development. The dormant maintenance status is not a concern for a stub package, which is a stable artifact. Install it alongside google-re2 in any project that enforces type checking.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires google-re2 to be installed; type stubs alone do not provide runtime functionality.
- Low install friction; a pure-Python stub package with a single runtime dependency on google-re2.
- Maintenance is dormant (662 days since last release), but stubs are typically stable artifacts that require infrequent updates.

What it is and what it does
google-re2-stubs is a type stub package that provides type hints for the google-re2 library, a Python binding to Google's RE2 regular expression engine. It does not implement any runtime functionality itself; instead, it supplies type information that allows static type checkers and IDEs to understand the types and signatures of google-re2's API. This is useful for developers who want to use google-re2 in type-checked Python code and need IDE autocomplete and type validation.
The package depends on google-re2 at runtime and supports Python 3.8 through 3.13. Because it is a stub-only package, installation is lightweight and friction-free. The dormant maintenance status reflects the typical lifecycle of stub packages—they are stable once written and rarely need updates unless the underlying library's API changes significantly.
Use it for
- Enable type checkers to validate code that uses google-re2 without type errors.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for google-re2 functions and classes.
- Support gradual typing in a codebase that migrates from untyped to typed regular expression operations.
- Ensure type safety in projects that combine google-re2 with other type-annotated libraries.
