mypy-boto3-kinesisvideo

What it is and what it does

This package is a type stub library that adds static type information to boto3's KinesisVideo service. It was generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and is compatible with boto3 1.43.0. When installed, it enables IDEs like VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text to provide code completion and type checking for KinesisVideo client calls, paginators, and type definitions without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package works by providing `.pyi` stub files that describe the shape and types of the KinesisVideo API. It integrates with type checkers like mypy and pyright, and is designed to be used alongside boto3 in development environments. The documentation notes that PyCharm may experience performance issues with the full version due to Literal overload handling, and recommends the lite variant as an alternative in such cases.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type hints when writing boto3 KinesisVideo client code in VSCode or PyCharm.
• Catch type errors in KinesisVideo API calls during development with mypy or pyright before runtime.
• Document the shape of KinesisVideo responses and parameters through static type information in your codebase.
• Use in a TYPE_CHECKING block to get type hints without adding a production runtime dependency.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations for boto3's KinesisVideo service, enabling IDE code completion and static type checking with mypy and pyright.

Yes, if you use boto3's KinesisVideo service and want IDE support and static type checking. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and there are no security issues. The MIT license poses no restrictions. Consider the lite variant if you experience PyCharm performance problems.

Install

mypy-boto3-kinesisvideo on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-kinesisvideo

uv add mypy-boto3-kinesisvideo

Installing mypy-boto3-kinesisvideo

Before you install

Low friction: pure Python wheel with only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency. Actively maintained with recent releases and no known vulnerabilities.

License in practice

MIT license is permissive; you can use this package freely in commercial and open-source projects without restriction.

Quickstart

# Install
python -m pip install mypy-boto3-kinesisvideo

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_kinesisvideo import KinesisVideoClient

client: KinesisVideoClient = Session().client("kinesisvideo")

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

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the docs (issue PY-40997) still affect current versions.
• Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) is recommended over the full version for new projects.
