# mypy-boto3-backup-gateway — Type annotations for boto3 BackupGateway 1.43.55 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 245.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information for AWS boto3's BackupGateway service. It is generated automatically from boto3 1.43.55 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and provides complete type annotations for client methods, paginators, and service resources.

When installed, it enables IDEs and type checkers to understand BackupGateway calls, offering code completion, inline documentation, and catching type errors before runtime. It works with mypy, pyright, VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text. The package is stub-only with minimal dependencies, making it lightweight to add to development environments.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline type hints when writing boto3 BackupGateway code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Run mypy or pyright type checking on BackupGateway client code to catch API misuse before deployment.
- Add type safety to AWS backup gateway operations without writing manual type annotations.
- Provide code completion and documentation in Emacs or Sublime Text via LSP integration.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's BackupGateway service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and editor support in VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text.

Yes. If you use boto3's BackupGateway service and want IDE support or static type checking, this is a straightforward install with low friction and no production runtime cost. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install it in your development environment.

## Install

pip install mypy-boto3-backup-gateway
uv add mypy-boto3-backup-gateway
poetry add mypy-boto3-backup-gateway

## Installing mypy-boto3-backup-gateway

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Active maintenance with recent release 22 days ago and steady repository activity.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-backup-gateway

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_backup_gateway import BackupGatewayClient

client: BackupGatewayClient = Session().client("backup-gateway")

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

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues with Literal overloads (PY-40997) have been resolved since documentation was written.
- Whether the lite variant is necessary for your IDE or if full stubs work adequately.
- Whether explicit type annotations are required or automatic inference works for your use case.
