# mypy-boto3-acm — Type annotations for boto3 ACM 1.43.71 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 508.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's ACM (AWS Certificate Manager) service. It was generated from boto3 1.43.71 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and enables IDEs and type checkers like mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, and Emacs to understand boto3 ACM method signatures, return types, and available parameters without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package works by providing type definitions for ACM client objects, paginators, and waiters. When installed, it allows your editor to offer accurate autocompletion and enables static type checkers to catch type errors before runtime. It depends only on typing-extensions and is designed to be a development-time or optional runtime dependency—you can use TYPE_CHECKING guards to exclude it from production builds if needed.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocompletion and type hints when writing boto3 ACM code in VSCode, PyCharm, or Emacs without manual type annotations.
- Run mypy or pyright on a codebase that uses boto3 ACM to catch type mismatches and missing parameters at check time.
- Provide type safety for ACM client instantiation and method calls in a team project using static analysis.
- Support paginator and waiter type hints for ACM operations like ListCertificates and SearchCertificates.
- Use as an optional dev dependency with TYPE_CHECKING guards to keep production environments lean while maintaining type safety during development.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use boto3 ACM and want static type checking or IDE autocompletion. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no security vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. Install it as a dev dependency or use TYPE_CHECKING guards for production. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with Literal overloads; the documentation suggests boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative in that case.

## Install

pip install mypy-boto3-acm
uv add mypy-boto3-acm
poetry add mypy-boto3-acm

## Installing mypy-boto3-acm

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with a release just 1 day old and 670 repository stars. Supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects with minimal attribution requirements.

Quickstart:

# Install
python -m pip install mypy-boto3-acm

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_acm import ACMClient

client: ACMClient = Session().client("acm")
# Type checking and IDE completion now work on client calls

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately for runtime use.

Verify before relying:

- Performance impact on PyCharm due to Literal overload complexity (documentation mentions issue PY-40997 but does not confirm if resolved)
- Whether boto3-stubs-lite variant is recommended over this package for PyCharm users in current versions
