mypy-boto3-firehose

What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-firehose is a type-stub package that adds static type annotations for boto3's Firehose service. It's generated from boto3 1.43.29 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode (via Pylance), PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other IDEs that support Python type checking. When installed, it enables IDE autocomplete and type checking for Firehose client calls without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is a stub-only distribution—it contains no runtime code, only type definitions. It depends only on typing-extensions and is designed to be lightweight enough for development environments. The description notes that PyCharm may experience performance issues with the full stubs due to Literal overload complexity, and recommends the lite variant in that case. Type annotations can optionally be gated behind TYPE_CHECKING to avoid a production dependency.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and parameter hints when writing boto3 Firehose client code in VSCode or PyCharm.
• Catch type errors in Firehose API calls during development using mypy or pyright before runtime.
• Document expected argument types and return values for Firehose operations in your codebase.
• Use Firehose Literal types (e.g., AmazonOpenSearchServerlessS3BackupModeType) for type-safe enum-like values in function signatures.
• Integrate type checking into CI/CD pipelines to validate Firehose API usage across your project.

Worth the install?

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

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

Yes, if you use boto3 Firehose and want IDE autocomplete and static type checking. Install friction is minimal (one lightweight dependency), maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs and should consider the lite variant instead.

Install

mypy-boto3-firehose on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-firehose

uv add mypy-boto3-firehose

Installing mypy-boto3-firehose

Before you install

Low install friction with a single lightweight dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; repository shows 670 stars and was last updated 2026-06-22.

License in practice

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

Quickstart

# Install
python -m pip install mypy-boto3-firehose

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_firehose import FirehoseClient

client: FirehoseClient = Session().client("firehose")
# Type checking and IDE autocomplete now work

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

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (issue PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed.
• Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) offers meaningful performance improvements over the full stubs in typical IDE workflows.
