mypy-boto3-directconnect

What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library for boto3's DirectConnect service, generated automatically by mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0. It provides complete type annotations for DirectConnect client methods, paginators, and type definitions, allowing Python IDEs and type checkers to understand boto3 code at development time. The stubs work with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, and pyright, enabling inline code completion and catching type errors before runtime.

The package is a development-only dependency—it does not alter boto3's runtime behavior. You install it into your development environment alongside boto3, and your type checker or IDE automatically discovers the annotations. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and depends only on typing-extensions, keeping installation lightweight. The package is actively maintained and generated from boto3 1.43.63.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation when writing boto3 DirectConnect code in VSCode or PyCharm.
• Run mypy or pyright type checking in CI/CD to catch DirectConnect API misuse before deployment.
• Annotate DirectConnect client and paginator types explicitly in production code without a runtime dependency using TYPE_CHECKING.
• Discover available DirectConnect methods and their signatures through IDE tooltips during development.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type stubs and annotations for boto3's DirectConnect service, enabling IDE code completion and static type checking with mypy and pyright.

Yes, if you use boto3's DirectConnect service and want static type checking or IDE support. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license carries no restrictions. The only gotcha is PyCharm's known performance issue with Literal overloads (PY-40997)—use the lite variant or pyright instead if you hit slowdowns.

Install

mypy-boto3-directconnect on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-directconnect

uv add mypy-boto3-directconnect

poetry add mypy-boto3-directconnect

Installing mypy-boto3-directconnect

Before you install

Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Active maintenance with a recent release 11 days ago and consistent commit history.

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart

pip install mypy-boto3-directconnect

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_directconnect import DirectConnectClient

client: DirectConnectClient = Session().client("directconnect")

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) have been resolved since the package was built.
• Whether the lite version (boto3-stubs-lite) offers meaningful performance benefits for DirectConnect specifically.
