mypy-boto3-backup

What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-backup is a type-stub package that adds complete type annotations to boto3's Backup service. It enables static type checkers (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text) to provide accurate autocomplete, type hints, and error detection when working with AWS Backup API calls. The package is generated from boto3 1.43.66 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0.

The package provides explicit type annotations for BackupClient, paginators, waiters, and service-specific type definitions. It works as a standalone installation or as part of boto3-stubs with the [backup] extra. No explicit type annotations are required in your code—install the package and your type checker automatically gains full visibility into boto3 Backup operations.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type checking for boto3 Backup API calls in VSCode with Pylance or PyCharm.
• Run mypy or pyright on a codebase using boto3 Backup to catch type errors before runtime.
• Use in TYPE_CHECKING blocks to get type hints without adding a production dependency.
• Develop AWS Backup automation scripts with full IDE support for service-specific methods and parameters.
• Migrate legacy boto3 code to typed Python by leveraging paginator and client type annotations.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for the boto3 Backup service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes. This is a low-friction, actively maintained type-stub package with no known vulnerabilities and a permissive MIT license. Install it if you use boto3 Backup and want IDE autocomplete and static type checking. The single dependency (typing-extensions) is lightweight, and the package supports all current Python versions. Consider boto3-stubs-lite if PyCharm performance becomes an issue.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and commercial projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install mypy-boto3-backup

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_backup import BackupClient

client: BackupClient = Session().client("backup")
# Type checking and IDE autocomplete now available

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in docs (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed in recent PyCharm versions.
• Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) is recommended over this package for production environments to reduce memory overhead.
