mypy-boto3-config

What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's AWS ConfigService client. It is generated automatically using mypy-boto3-builder and works with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, pyright, and other type-aware tools. When installed, it enables IDE code completion and catches type errors at development time without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package contains type definitions for the ConfigService client, paginators, waiters, and service models. It has a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions and supports Python 3.9 through 3.14. The library is a stub-only package (no runtime behavior) and is typically installed alongside boto3-stubs or used standalone for type checking during development.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocompletion and type hints when writing boto3 ConfigService code in VSCode or PyCharm.
• Run mypy or pyright type checkers on boto3 code to catch configuration and API usage errors before runtime.
• Document ConfigService API usage by providing explicit type annotations for client methods and responses.
• Integrate type checking into CI/CD pipelines to validate AWS infrastructure-as-code scripts.
• Support LSP-based editors (Emacs, Sublime Text) with type information for boto3 ConfigService operations.

Worth the install?

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

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

Yes. Install this if you use boto3's ConfigService and want static type checking or IDE autocompletion. It has low friction (one lightweight dependency), is actively maintained, carries no license restrictions, and has no known vulnerabilities. The only caveat is PyCharm performance on Literal overloads—if you experience slowness, the description suggests switching to boto3-stubs-lite.

Install

mypy-boto3-config on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-config

uv add mypy-boto3-config

poetry add mypy-boto3-config

Installing mypy-boto3-config

Before you install

Low install friction with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained as of 2026-07-07 with recent commits, making it reliable for ongoing boto3 development.

License in practice

MIT license permits use in both open-source and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions, making it safe to include in any codebase.

Quickstart

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

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_config import ConfigServiceClient

client: ConfigServiceClient = Session().client("config")

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

Verify before relying

• Performance impact on PyCharm reported in description but not quantified in fact sheet.
• Whether boto3-stubs-lite is a recommended alternative for production deployments to reduce memory overhead.
