Type annotations for boto3 Glue 1.43.70 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. If you use boto3 Glue and want IDE support or static type checking, install this. It has no runtime overhead, a single lightweight dependency, active maintenance, MIT licensing, and zero known vulnerabilities. The only caveat is PyCharm performance on Literal overloads—if you use PyCharm, consider boto3-stubs-lite instead.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.
- Low friction install with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions).
- Actively maintained with a release just 2 days old and consistent recent activity.

What it is and what it does
mypy-boto3-glue is a type-stub package that adds static type annotations to boto3's Glue client, enabling IDEs and type checkers to provide accurate autocomplete, inline documentation, and type validation. It is generated automatically from boto3's service model and works with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, pyright, and other tools that support Python type hints.
The package is a stub-only dependency—it contains no runtime code, only type information. You install it alongside boto3 to get IDE support and catch type errors during development. It supports explicit type annotations for the Glue client, paginators, and service-specific types, and can be used conditionally with TYPE_CHECKING to avoid production dependencies.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation when writing boto3 Glue code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Run mypy or pyright type checking on Glue client calls to catch errors before runtime.
- Get type-safe paginator annotations for Glue list operations like GetJobs, GetDatabases, and GetPartitions.
- Provide explicit type hints for Glue client and resource objects in team codebases using type-aware linters.
- Support conditional imports with TYPE_CHECKING to avoid adding a production dependency.
