# mypy-boto3-clouddirectory — Type annotations for boto3 CloudDirectory 1.43.69 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 251.0K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library generated from boto3's CloudDirectory service definition. It provides complete type annotations for CloudDirectory client operations, paginators, and type definitions, enabling IDEs and type checkers to offer accurate autocompletion and catch type errors at development time rather than runtime.

The package is designed to work alongside boto3 itself—it does not replace or wrap boto3, but rather annotates it. Once installed, any code using boto3.client("clouddirectory") will be recognized by mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, and other type-aware tools. It supports explicit type annotations for clients, paginators, and service-specific literals, and can be used conditionally via TYPE_CHECKING to avoid adding a production dependency.

Use it for:

- Add IDE autocompletion and parameter hints when writing CloudDirectory client code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch CloudDirectory API misuse (wrong parameter names, types) during development with mypy or pyright.
- Generate accurate type stubs for a monorepo or internal package that wraps boto3 CloudDirectory calls.
- Enable refactoring tools to safely rename or update CloudDirectory operations across a codebase.
- Use TYPE_CHECKING guards to get type hints during development without adding a runtime dependency.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's CloudDirectory service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes—if you use boto3's CloudDirectory service and want static type checking or IDE autocompletion. Install friction is negligible, maintenance is active, the license is permissive, and there are no known vulnerabilities. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs (boto3-stubs-lite is an alternative); for other IDEs and type checkers, this is a straightforward win.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-clouddirectory

Before you install: Low friction: single pure-Python wheel with only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency. Actively maintained with releases within days of boto3 updates.

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

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-clouddirectory

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_clouddirectory import CloudDirectoryClient

client: CloudDirectoryClient = Session().client("clouddirectory")

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

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the docs (PY-40997) persist with current versions.
- Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) is recommended over this package for most use cases.
