mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media

What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's KinesisVideoMedia service. It enables IDEs like VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text to provide accurate code completion and type checking when working with the KinesisVideoMedia API, and works with type checkers like mypy and pyright.

The stubs are generated automatically from boto3's service definitions, so they stay synchronized with the underlying AWS SDK. You install it alongside boto3 in your development environment—it has no runtime impact and can be excluded from production deployments using TYPE_CHECKING guards. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and depends only on typing-extensions.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type hints when calling KinesisVideoMedia API methods in VSCode or PyCharm.
• Catch type mismatches in KinesisVideoMedia client calls during development with mypy or pyright before runtime.
• Provide explicit type annotations for KinesisVideoMediaClient and service-specific Literals in your codebase.
• Improve code documentation and maintainability by making boto3 API contracts visible to type checkers.
• Use in development-only dependencies without adding to production package size via TYPE_CHECKING imports.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's KinesisVideoMedia service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and compatible editors.

Yes, if you use boto3's KinesisVideoMedia service and want static type checking or IDE autocompletion. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, the license is permissive, and there are no known vulnerabilities. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs (the lite variant is recommended as a workaround).

Install

mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media

uv add mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media

poetry add mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media

Installing mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media

Before you install

Low install friction with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Active maintenance with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22 and 670 repository stars indicate ongoing support.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and commercial projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

# Install
python -m pip install mypy-boto3-kinesis-video-media

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_kinesis_video_media import KinesisVideoMediaClient

client: KinesisVideoMediaClient = Session().client("kinesis-video-media")

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

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) still affect current versions.
• Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) provides equivalent type coverage for KinesisVideoMedia.
