# mypy-boto3-docdb — Type annotations for boto3 DocDB 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 369.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information for boto3's DocumentDB service. It was generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and is compatible with boto3 1.43.0. When installed, it enables IDE autocomplete, type checking with mypy and pyright, and catches potential type errors before runtime—without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package works across multiple editors and type checkers: VSCode (with Pylance), PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, and pyright. It provides type annotations for DocDB clients, paginators, waiters, and service-specific type definitions. The library is marked as production-stable and supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.

Use it for:

- Add IDE autocomplete and type checking to boto3 DocumentDB code in VSCode or PyCharm without manual type annotations.
- Catch DocumentDB API misuse (wrong parameter types, missing required fields) during development with mypy or pyright.
- Enable code navigation and refactoring tools in your editor by providing precise type information for boto3 clients and resources.
- Use in CI/CD pipelines to enforce type safety on DocumentDB interactions before deployment.

## Worth the install?

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

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

Yes. Install this if you use boto3 with DocumentDB and want static type checking and IDE support. It has minimal dependencies, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive MIT license. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs; the description suggests using boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative in that case.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-docdb

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; the repository shows ongoing development and community engagement.

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

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-docdb

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_docdb import DocDBClient

client: DocDBClient = Session().client("docdb")

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

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed.
- Real-world performance impact when used with large boto3 codebases or in resource-constrained environments.
