# mypy-boto3-ds — Type annotations for boto3 DirectoryService 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 290.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-ds is a type-stub package that adds complete type annotations for boto3's DirectoryService (AWS Directory Service) client. It enables static type checking and IDE code completion when working with the DirectoryService API, allowing developers to catch type errors before runtime and get inline documentation and autocomplete suggestions in their editor.

The package is generated from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder and works with multiple type checkers (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode with Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text). It provides annotations for clients, paginators, waiters, and type definitions, supporting both explicit type annotations and transparent type inference when installed alongside boto3-stubs.

Use it for:

- Enable mypy or pyright type checking on DirectoryService API calls to catch type mismatches before deployment.
- Get IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for DirectoryService client methods in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Annotate function signatures that accept or return DirectoryService clients for better code clarity and IDE support.
- Use with boto3-stubs to get transparent type inference without explicit type annotations in your code.
- Validate paginator and waiter usage with full type safety when querying Directory Service resources.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for boto3's DirectoryService client, compatible with mypy, pyright, VSCode, PyCharm, and other development tools.

Yes. Install if you use boto3's DirectoryService and want type checking or IDE autocomplete. Low friction (one dependency), actively maintained, no known vulnerabilities, and MIT-licensed. PyCharm users should be aware of potential performance issues with Literal overloads (documented in the package); consider boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative if performance degrades.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-ds

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22 and 670 repository stars indicate ongoing support.

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-ds

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_ds import DirectoryServiceClient

client: DirectoryServiceClient = Session().client("ds")

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

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the docs (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed in recent PyCharm versions.
- Specific coverage of DirectoryService API operations and whether all service methods are fully annotated.
