What it is and what it does
mypy-boto3-ec2 is a type-stub package that adds complete type annotations for the boto3 EC2 service. It is generated from boto3 1.43.67 using mypy-boto3-builder and provides IDE autocomplete, type checking, and inline documentation for EC2 client operations, paginators, waiters, and service resources.
The package works by installing alongside boto3 and making type information available to static analysis tools (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode with Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text). It enables developers to catch type errors at development time and get IDE suggestions without writing explicit type annotations. The package is designed as a stub-only distribution and can optionally be imported only under TYPE_CHECKING to avoid a production dependency.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright type checking on EC2 code without manual type annotations.
- Get IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for EC2 client methods in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch boto3 EC2 API usage errors during development before runtime.
- Use TYPE_CHECKING imports to provide type hints without adding a production dependency.
- Validate EC2 resource operations and paginator calls against the boto3 API schema.
