mypy-boto3-ds-data

What it is and what it does

This package is a type stub library that adds static type annotations to boto3's DirectoryServiceData service. It is generated automatically from boto3 metadata and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other type-aware tools. When installed, it enables IDE code completion and static type checking for DirectoryServiceData client calls without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package depends only on typing-extensions and is designed to be lightweight—it contains no runtime code, only type definitions. It can be installed standalone or as part of boto3-stubs, and supports Python 3.9 through 3.14. The description notes that PyCharm users may experience performance issues due to Literal overload handling, and recommends using boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative in such cases.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type hints when writing boto3 DirectoryServiceData client code in VSCode or other supported editors.
• Catch type errors in DirectoryServiceData API calls during static analysis with mypy or pyright before runtime.
• Provide explicit type annotations for DirectoryServiceDataClient, paginators, and type definitions in production code.
• Integrate type checking into CI/CD pipelines to validate boto3 DirectoryServiceData usage across a codebase.
• Use with TYPE_CHECKING guards to add type safety without adding a production dependency.

Worth the install?

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

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

Yes, if you use boto3's DirectoryServiceData service and want IDE support and static type checking. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. Skip only if you do not use DirectoryServiceData or prefer to manage types manually.

Install

mypy-boto3-ds-data on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-ds-data

uv add mypy-boto3-ds-data

poetry add mypy-boto3-ds-data

Installing mypy-boto3-ds-data

Before you install

Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel distribution, and active maintenance with recent releases. Designed as a type-only stub package with minimal overhead.

License in practice

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

Quickstart

pip install mypy-boto3-ds-data

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_ds_data import DirectoryServiceDataClient

client: DirectoryServiceDataClient = Session().client("ds-data")
# Type checking and IDE completion now work on client calls

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately for runtime use.

Verify before relying

• Performance impact when used with PyCharm (description notes PyCharm issue PY-40997 with Literal overloads, but real-world severity is unclear)
• Whether type coverage extends to all DirectoryServiceData operations or if some remain untyped
