mypy-boto3-eks

What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-eks is a type stub package that adds static type information to boto3's EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) client. It's generated from boto3 1.43.69 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, and other type-aware tools to provide IDE autocompletion and catch type errors at development time rather than runtime.

The package is purely a typing layer—it adds no runtime behavior and is safe to use only in development environments via TYPE_CHECKING guards. It supports explicit type annotations for EKS clients, paginators, and waiters, and integrates seamlessly with standard Python type checkers. Installation is straightforward via pip, with a single lightweight dependency on typing-extensions.

Use it for:

• Add IDE autocompletion and type checking to boto3 EKS code in VSCode with Pylance or PyCharm.
• Catch type errors in EKS client calls before runtime using mypy or pyright in CI/CD pipelines.
• Annotate function signatures that accept EKS clients or resources with precise type hints.
• Enable paginator and waiter type hints for EKS operations like listing clusters or describing add-ons.
• Use TYPE_CHECKING guards to include type stubs only during development without production dependencies.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3 EKS service, enabling type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes. If you use boto3 with EKS and want IDE autocompletion and static type checking, this package is the standard way to get it. Low install friction, active maintenance, no security issues, and MIT licensing make it a straightforward addition to any EKS-using project. Install it in your development environment or use TYPE_CHECKING to keep it out of production.

Install

Installing mypy-boto3-eks

Before you install

Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Active maintenance with a release 3 days ago and consistent activity since 2019.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart

pip install mypy-boto3-eks

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_eks import EKSClient

client: EKSClient = Session().client("eks")

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

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) remain unresolved.
• Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) offers meaningfully better IDE performance in practice.
