Type annotations for boto3 Glacier 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install it if you use boto3 with Glacier and want static type checking or IDE autocompletion; it adds no runtime overhead when used with TYPE_CHECKING guards.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.
- Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions).

What it is and what it does
mypy-boto3-glacier is a type-stub package that adds static type checking and IDE autocompletion support for boto3's Glacier service. It was generated by mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with type checkers like mypy and pyright, as well as IDEs including VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text. The package provides explicit type annotations for Glacier clients, paginators, waiters, and service resources, allowing developers to catch type errors during development rather than at runtime.
The package is designed to be installed alongside boto3 and requires only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and is classified as Production/Stable. Installation is straightforward via pip, either standalone or as part of boto3-stubs[glacier]. The documentation notes that PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full type stubs and recommends using boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative if needed.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocompletion and inline type hints when writing boto3 Glacier code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Run mypy or pyright type checking on Glacier client code to catch type errors before deployment.
- Use TYPE_CHECKING guards to import Glacier type annotations without adding a runtime dependency to production code.
- Provide explicit type annotations for Glacier paginators and waiters in complex AWS workflows.
- Integrate with Emacs or Sublime Text LSP clients for real-time type checking and code completion.
