Type annotations for boto3 SQS 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. If you use boto3 SQS and want static type checking or IDE autocomplete, install this. It has low friction (pure Python, one lightweight dependency), is actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively under MIT. It is a standard choice in the boto3 ecosystem for type safety.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.
- Low friction: a single pure-Python wheel with only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency.
- Actively maintained with recent releases and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
mypy-boto3-sqs is a stub package that adds complete type annotations for boto3's SQS service. It is generated from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and provides type hints for SQS clients, paginators, service resources, and type definitions. When installed, it enables static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate your boto3 SQS code, and allows IDEs to offer accurate autocomplete and inline documentation.
The package is designed as a lightweight, development-only dependency. It works with multiple editors and type checkers—VSCode with Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and command-line tools like mypy and pyright. The package has typing-extensions as its only runtime dependency and is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline type hints when writing boto3 SQS client code in VSCode or PyCharm
- Run mypy or pyright on a codebase that uses boto3 SQS to catch type errors before runtime
- Explicitly annotate function parameters and return types with SQSClient, paginators, or resource types
- Validate SQS queue operations and message handling code with static type checking in CI/CD pipelines
- Use in Emacs or Sublime Text for real-time type checking and completion
