# mypy-boto3-eks-auth — Type annotations for boto3 EKSAuth 1.43.63 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

## What it is and what it does

This package provides type stub annotations for boto3's EKSAuth service, generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0. It enables static type checking and IDE autocompletion when working with AWS EKSAuth API calls through boto3, compatible with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text. The stubs include explicit type annotations for the EKSAuthClient, service literals, and type definitions extracted from boto3 shapes.

The package is designed to be installed alongside boto3-stubs or standalone. It requires only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency and supports Python 3.9 through 3.14. Type checking works without explicit annotations in your code—you write boto3 code normally, and the stubs provide the type information to your IDE and type checker. The package is permissively licensed under MIT and actively maintained.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocompletion and type hints when calling EKSAuth methods through boto3 in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch type errors in boto3 EKSAuth API calls using mypy or pyright in CI/CD pipelines.
- Provide explicit type annotations for EKSAuthClient in production code while keeping the stubs as a dev-only dependency.
- Document the shape and structure of EKSAuth service responses through typed dictionaries and literals.
- Support multi-IDE workflows where developers use different editors (VSCode, Emacs, Sublime) with consistent type checking.

## Worth the install?

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

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

Yes. Install this if you use boto3 to call EKSAuth and want type safety and IDE support. Low friction (one lightweight dependency), actively maintained, MIT-licensed, and no known vulnerabilities. The only gotcha is PyCharm performance on Literal overloads (documented in the description), which can be mitigated by using boto3-stubs-lite instead.

## Install

pip install mypy-boto3-eks-auth
uv add mypy-boto3-eks-auth
poetry add mypy-boto3-eks-auth

## Installing mypy-boto3-eks-auth

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight 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:

# Install with pip
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[eks-auth]'

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_eks_auth import EKSAuthClient

client: EKSAuthClient = Session().client("eks-auth")
# Type checking and IDE completion now work automatically

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately as a runtime dependency of boto3-stubs.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed.
- Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) is recommended as a default for PyCharm users in current versions.
