# mypy-boto3-elb — Type annotations for boto3 ElasticLoadBalancing 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 388.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's ElasticLoadBalancing (ELB) service. It was generated by mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and provides complete type annotations for ELB client methods, paginators, and waiters, enabling IDEs and type checkers to offer accurate code completion and catch type errors before runtime.

You install it alongside boto3 to get IDE autocompletion and type checking in VSCode (with Pylance), PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and command-line tools like mypy and pyright. The package supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and can be used as a development-only dependency via TYPE_CHECKING guards to avoid production bloat.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for ELB API calls in VSCode or PyCharm without writing manual type hints.
- Catch ELB method signature errors and invalid parameter types during development using mypy or pyright.
- Provide type safety for boto3 ELB paginators and waiters in large AWS infrastructure codebases.
- Use as a dev-only import (behind TYPE_CHECKING) to avoid adding a runtime dependency to production deployments.

## Worth the install?

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

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

Yes, if you use boto3's ElasticLoadBalancing service and want IDE support or static type checking. The install is frictionless, the package is actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs; the documentation recommends the lite variant in that case.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-elb

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22.

License in practice: MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-elb

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_elb import ElasticLoadBalancingClient

client: ElasticLoadBalancingClient = Session().client("elb")

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

Verify before relying:

- Whether performance impact on PyCharm is acceptable for your codebase size (documentation notes potential slowness with Literal overloads).
- Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) would better suit your IDE and memory constraints.
