# mypy-boto3-gamelift — Type annotations for boto3 GameLift 1.43.66 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 260.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package provides type stub annotations for the AWS GameLift service within boto3, generated automatically by mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0. It enables static type checkers (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text) to understand and validate GameLift API calls at development time, offering code completion and catching type errors before runtime.

The package is a pure stub-only distribution with no runtime code—it exists solely to inform type checkers about the shape and behavior of boto3's GameLift client, paginators, and related types. Installation is lightweight and optional for production deployments; developers typically install it in their development environment or use it through boto3-stubs, which bundles stubs for multiple AWS services.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and type checking when writing GameLift API calls in a boto3 application.
- Catch type mismatches in GameLift client method calls before deployment using mypy or pyright.
- Provide explicit type hints for GameLift client, paginators, and response objects in team codebases.
- Integrate GameLift type support into VSCode or PyCharm workflows without manual annotation.
- Validate GameLift API usage in CI/CD pipelines using static type checkers.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for AWS GameLift service calls through boto3, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use boto3 to interact with AWS GameLift and want IDE support or static type checking. Install friction is minimal (one dependency, Python 3.9+), maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. No known vulnerabilities. Skip it only if you do not use GameLift or prefer to avoid stub dependencies in development.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-gamelift

Before you install: Low friction install with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with releases within the past week and a stable repository.

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

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-gamelift

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_gamelift import GameLiftClient

client: GameLiftClient = Session().client("gamelift")
# Type checking and IDE autocomplete now work for GameLift API calls

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately to use the client.

Verify before relying:

- Performance impact in PyCharm relative to boto3-stubs-lite variant mentioned in docs
- Whether generated type stubs remain synchronized with boto3 GameLift API changes
