# mypy-boto3-glacier — Type annotations for boto3 Glacier 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 290.8K/mo

## 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.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's Glacier service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and editor support in VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text.

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.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-glacier

Before you install: Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; repository shows 670 stars and last commit on 2026-06-22.

License in practice: MIT license permits use in commercial and private projects with minimal restrictions; suitable for most development contexts.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-glacier

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_glacier import GlacierClient

client: GlacierClient = Session().client("glacier")
# Type checking and IDE autocompletion now work

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

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works with boto3 versions other than 1.43.0 or if it requires exact version matching.
- Performance impact on PyCharm; documentation mentions potential slowness with Literal overloads (issue PY-40997).
