# mypy-boto3-ebs — Type annotations for boto3 EBS 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 292.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-ebs is a type-stub package that adds complete type annotations for the boto3 EBS service. It is generated from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other IDE and type-checker tools. The package provides no runtime functionality—it only supplies type information so that your IDE and type checker can validate EBS client calls and offer accurate code completion.

When installed, it enables static type checking on boto3 EBS operations without requiring explicit type annotations in your code. You can import EBSClient to annotate client objects, access Literal types for valid parameter values, and use TypedDict structures for request and response shapes. The package is designed to be lightweight and can be installed in a TYPE_CHECKING block to avoid runtime dependencies in production code.

Use it for:

- Type-check boto3 EBS API calls in mypy or pyright to catch errors before runtime.
- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for EBS client methods and parameters.
- Annotate EBS client variables and function signatures for better code clarity in large projects.
- Validate EBS request parameters against Literal types to ensure only valid values are passed.
- Use in CI/CD pipelines to enforce type safety on AWS infrastructure code.

## Worth the install?

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

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

Yes, if you use boto3 for EBS operations and want static type checking and IDE support. Install friction is minimal and maintenance is active. The package is permissively licensed (MIT) and has no known vulnerabilities. Caveat: PyCharm users may experience performance issues with Literal overloads; consider boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative if that occurs.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-ebs

Before you install: Low install friction; single runtime dependency on typing-extensions. Active maintenance with recent releases; repository has 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 proprietary projects.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-ebs

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_ebs import EBSClient

client: EBSClient = Session().client("ebs")
# Type checking and IDE autocomplete now available

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

Verify before relying:

- Performance impact on PyCharm due to Literal overloads (documentation mentions PyCharm issue PY-40997 but does not quantify the impact).
- Whether boto3-stubs-lite is a viable alternative for projects with strict performance requirements.
