mypy-boto3-location

What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-location is a type stub package that adds static type annotations for boto3's LocationService client. It enables IDEs like VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text to provide code completion and type checking when working with AWS Location Service through boto3, without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is generated from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder and works with type checkers including mypy and pyright. It covers client methods, paginators, waiters, and type definitions for LocationService. The single runtime dependency is typing-extensions, making it lightweight to add to development environments.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and inline type hints when calling LocationService methods through boto3.
• Catch type errors in LocationService API calls during development with mypy or pyright before runtime.
• Provide explicit type annotations for LocationServiceClient in codebases that use TYPE_CHECKING guards.
• Support paginator and waiter type hints for LocationService operations in static analysis workflows.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's LocationService client, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use boto3's LocationService and want type checking or IDE support. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and there are no known vulnerabilities. The MIT license imposes no restrictions. Note: PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs; consider boto3-stubs-lite as an alternative if needed.

Requires Python 3.9 or later and boto3 to be installed separately.

Verify before relying

• Performance impact when used with PyCharm (description mentions PyCharm issue PY-40997 causing slowness with Literal overloads).
• Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) is recommended for production deployments to reduce memory footprint.
