mypy-boto3-ivs

What it is and what it does

This package is a type stub library that adds static type information to boto3's IVS service client. It is generated automatically from boto3's service definitions using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other IDE/type-checker combinations. When installed, it enables IDE code completion and catches type errors at development time without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is stub-only (contains no runtime code) and depends only on typing-extensions. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14. Installation can be done standalone or as part of a larger stubs package. The description notes that PyCharm may experience performance issues due to extensive use of Literal type overloads, and recommends using alternative approaches or separate type checkers like mypy for better performance in that IDE.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type hints when writing boto3 IVS client code in VSCode or other editors
• Catch type errors in boto3 IVS calls during development with mypy or pyright before runtime
• Provide explicit type annotations for IVS client, paginators, and service resources in team projects
• Use in CI/CD pipelines to validate boto3 IVS code correctness via static type checking

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for boto3's IVS (Interactive Video Service) client, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use boto3 IVS and want IDE support or static type checking. Install friction is minimal and maintenance is active. PyCharm users should be aware of documented performance issues with Literal overloads. The MIT license poses no restrictions. No known vulnerabilities.

Install

mypy-boto3-ivs on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-ivs

uv add mypy-boto3-ivs

poetry add mypy-boto3-ivs

Installing mypy-boto3-ivs

Before you install

Low friction install with a single lightweight dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with last commit on 2026-06-22, though performance warnings exist for PyCharm due to heavy Literal overload usage.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart

pip install mypy-boto3-ivs

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_ivs import IVSClient

client: IVSClient = Session().client("ivs")

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

Verify before relying

• Whether type stubs cover all IVS API operations and response shapes for boto3 1.43.45
• Performance impact in large codebases or IDEs beyond the documented PyCharm caveat
• Compatibility with boto3 versions other than 1.43.45
