mypy-boto3-odb

What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's ODB (Oracle Database) service. It is generated automatically from boto3 1.43.70 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, pyright, and other type-aware tools. When installed, it enables IDE autocompletion, catches type errors before runtime, and provides explicit type annotations for OdbClient, paginators, and service-specific types.

The package is designed as a development-time dependency only—you can use TYPE_CHECKING guards to avoid including it in production builds. It has a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions and installs as a pure-Python wheel with no compilation required. The library is actively maintained and supports current Python versions from 3.9 onward.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type hints when writing boto3 ODB client code in VSCode or other editors.
• Run mypy or pyright type checking on boto3 ODB code to catch type errors before deployment.
• Get explicit type annotations for OdbClient, paginators, and service-specific data types in PyCharm or other IDEs.
• Use TYPE_CHECKING guards to include type stubs in development without adding runtime overhead to production.
• Integrate with LSP-based editors (Emacs, Sublime Text) to provide real-time type checking and completion.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's ODB (Oracle Database) service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use boto3 with ODB and want static type checking or IDE autocompletion. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. Skip it only if you do not use type checking or ODB specifically.

Install

mypy-boto3-odb on PyPI

pip install mypy-boto3-odb

uv add mypy-boto3-odb

poetry add mypy-boto3-odb

Installing mypy-boto3-odb

Before you install

Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel-only distribution, and actively maintained with a recent release. Supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.

License in practice

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

Quickstart

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

# Use in code
from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_odb import OdbClient

client: OdbClient = Session().client("odb")
# Type checking and IDE completion now work

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

Verify before relying

• Performance impact in PyCharm with Literal overloads (documentation mentions issue PY-40997 but does not confirm current status).
• Whether boto3-stubs-lite variant is recommended over this package for PyCharm users.
