Type annotations for boto3 GuardDuty 1.43.54 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use boto3 GuardDuty in a typed Python project. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and adds negligible install friction. It's particularly valuable in codebases using mypy or pyright, or in IDEs like VSCode with Pylance. The only caveat: PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full type stubs and should 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 itself must be installed separately for runtime use.
- Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel-only distribution, and actively maintained with recent releases.
- Designed as a lightweight type-stub package with no complex build requirements.

What it is and what it does
This package provides type stubs for boto3's GuardDuty service, generated by mypy-boto3-builder. It enables static type checkers (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text) to understand and validate GuardDuty client calls, offering autocomplete and catching type errors at development time rather than runtime.
The package is purely a type-annotation layer—it has no runtime behavior and depends only on typing-extensions. It's designed to be installed alongside boto3 and works by providing type information for GuardDuty's client, paginators, waiters, and service models. Installation is straightforward via pip, and it integrates transparently with most Python development environments.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocompletion and type checking when writing boto3 GuardDuty code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch GuardDuty API call errors (wrong parameters, missing arguments) before runtime using mypy or pyright.
- Document GuardDuty client method signatures and return types for team members reading the code.
- Validate paginator and waiter usage with full type hints for GuardDuty operations.
- Integrate GuardDuty type checking into CI/CD pipelines using mypy or pyright without runtime overhead.
