# mypy-boto3-ses — Type annotations for boto3 SES 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.4M/mo

## What it is and what it does

mypy-boto3-ses is a type stub package that adds static type information to boto3's SES (Simple Email Service) client. It was generated using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and provides complete type annotations for SES operations, paginators, and waiters. When installed alongside boto3, it enables type checkers like mypy and pyright, as well as IDE language servers, to understand and validate SES API calls at development time—catching type errors before runtime and providing autocomplete suggestions as you write code.

The package is designed to work with multiple development environments and type-checking tools. It supports explicit type annotations for SES clients, paginators, and waiters, and can be used in a TYPE_CHECKING block to avoid runtime dependencies in production code. The package is marked as a stub-only distribution and requires Python 3.9 or later.

Use it for:

- Add IDE autocomplete and type checking to boto3 SES code in VSCode with Pylance or in PyCharm.
- Run mypy or pyright on a codebase that uses boto3 SES to catch type errors before deployment.
- Import SESClient type annotations to explicitly declare client types in function signatures and module-level variables.
- Use TYPE_CHECKING guards to include type stubs only during development, keeping production dependencies minimal.
- Enable code completion and parameter hints for SES API calls in Emacs or Sublime Text via LSP-pyright.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations for boto3 SES 1.43.0, enabling static type checking and IDE code completion across VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, and pyright.

Yes. Install this if you use boto3 SES and want static type checking or IDE autocomplete. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and MIT licensing make it a straightforward addition to any SES-using project. Pair it with mypy or pyright for maximum benefit.

## Install

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

## Installing mypy-boto3-ses

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained as of 2026-06-22 with a stable release cadence.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects without attribution requirements.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-ses

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_ses import SESClient

client: SESClient = Session().client("ses")

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 (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed.
- Whether the lite variant (boto3-stubs-lite) offers meaningful performance improvements for large projects.
