grpc-stubs
Mypy stubs for gRPC
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is archived and abandoned; the maintainer explicitly directs users to typeshed for ongoing support. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, installing a stub package with no active maintenance creates a maintenance debt. Install typeshed's gRPC stubs instead, or use a tool that automatically pulls stubs from typeshed.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires grpcio to be installed; intended for development/type-checking workflows, not runtime.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on grpcio.
- However, the package is archived as of 2025-04-28 and marked abandoned; active development has moved to typeshed.

Alternatives
Verify before relying
pip install grpc-stubs
Then use with mypy or another PEP 561-compliant type checker to validate gRPC code:
mypy your_grpc_code.py- Whether typeshed's gRPC stubs are a drop-in replacement or require migration steps.
- Current compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.8, given the package is archived.
- Whether the stubs remain accurate for recent grpcio versions post-abandonment.
What it is and what it does
grpc-stubs is a PEP 561-compliant stub-only package that provides type information for the gRPC library, allowing developers to use static type checkers like mypy to validate gRPC code. It depends only on grpcio and installs as a pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies.
The package is now archived and abandoned as of 2025-04-28. The maintainer has transferred active development to typeshed, the community-maintained repository of type stubs for the Python ecosystem. While the last release was recent, no new features or fixes should be expected from this repository; users should plan to migrate to typeshed's gRPC stubs for ongoing support.
Use it for
- Type-check gRPC service definitions and client code with mypy before runtime.
- Enable IDE autocompletion and inline type hints for gRPC imports and calls.
- Validate gRPC message and service definitions in a CI/CD pipeline using mypy.
- Provide type safety for gRPC-based microservices during development.
