# mypy-boto3-dlm — Type annotations for boto3 DLM 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 288.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-dlm is a type stub package that adds static type information to boto3's Data Lifecycle Manager service. It was generated using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with boto3 1.43.0. The package provides type annotations for DLMClient, service resources, waiters, paginators, literals, and type definitions—enabling your IDE and type checker (mypy, pyright, Pylance, or others) to validate DLM API calls at development time and offer accurate code completion.

You install it alongside boto3 in your Python environment. It has no runtime behavior; it only provides metadata that type checkers and IDEs consume. The package supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and depends only on typing-extensions. It's designed to work with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other editors that support Python language servers, as well as command-line type checkers.

Use it for:

- Catch DLM API errors before runtime by type-checking boto3 DLM client calls in mypy or pyright.
- Get IDE autocompletion and inline documentation for DLM methods and parameters in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Define type-safe function signatures that accept DLM client objects or service resources.
- Use DLM Literals and TypeDefs in your own type annotations for stricter validation of policy configurations.
- Enable continuous integration type checking on DLM-using code without runtime execution.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations for boto3's Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) service, enabling static type checking and IDE autocompletion for DLM API calls.

Yes. Install this if you use boto3's DLM service and want static type checking and IDE support. It has low install friction (one small dependency), is actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with full boto3-stubs due to a known PyCharm limitation with Literal overloads; in that case, use boto3-stubs-lite instead.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-dlm

Before you install: Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; repo shows 670 stars and last commit on 2026-06-22.

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

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-dlm

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_dlm import DLMClient

client: DLMClient = Session().client("dlm")
# Type checking and IDE completion now available

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

Verify before relying:

- Performance impact in PyCharm with full boto3-stubs (documentation warns of potential slowness due to Literal overloads, but this is a known PyCharm issue, not specific to this package).
