# mypy-boto3-sdb — Type annotations for boto3 SimpleDB 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's SimpleDB client, enabling IDEs and type checkers to understand the API surface and provide accurate code completion and error detection. It is generated from boto3 1.43.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, and other tools that support Python type hints.

The package contains no runtime code—it only provides type definitions. You install it alongside boto3 in your development environment, and your IDE or type checker automatically uses the annotations to validate your boto3 code as you write it. It supports explicit type annotations for clients, paginators, and service-specific literals, and can be used with TYPE_CHECKING guards to keep it out of production dependencies.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and type checking for SimpleDB operations in VSCode or PyCharm without writing manual type hints.
- Catch SimpleDB API usage errors at development time with mypy or pyright before running code.
- Document SimpleDB client and paginator types explicitly in code that uses TYPE_CHECKING to avoid runtime dependencies.
- Provide accurate method signatures and parameter types for SimpleDB operations in LSP-enabled editors like Emacs or Sublime Text.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type annotations and IDE autocomplete support for boto3's SimpleDB service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes, if you use boto3 with SimpleDB and want IDE autocomplete and static type checking. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license has no restrictions. The package is a type-stub only and adds no runtime overhead when used with TYPE_CHECKING guards.

## Install

pip install mypy-boto3-sdb
uv add mypy-boto3-sdb
poetry add mypy-boto3-sdb

## Installing mypy-boto3-sdb

Before you install: Low friction install with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent commits and stable status.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal legal constraints.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-sdb

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_sdb import SimpleDBClient

client: SimpleDBClient = Session().client("sdb")

Requires Python 3.9 or later and boto3 installed separately.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) remain unresolved in current versions.
- Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) is recommended for production deployments to reduce memory overhead.
