# mypy-boto3-ssm-contacts — Type annotations for boto3 SSMContacts 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 245.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to boto3's SSM Contacts service. It is generated automatically from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text. When installed, it enables IDE code completion and type checking for SSM Contacts client operations, paginators, and type definitions without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is designed as a development-time dependency and can be safely excluded from production using TYPE_CHECKING guards. It has no runtime behavior—it only provides type information to static analysis tools. Installation is straightforward via pip, and it integrates seamlessly with standard Python development workflows.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocompletion and inline type hints when writing boto3 SSM Contacts client code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch type errors in boto3 SSM Contacts calls during development using mypy or pyright before runtime.
- Document SSM Contacts API signatures explicitly in code through type annotations for team clarity.
- Use with boto3-stubs[ssm-contacts] to get comprehensive type coverage across boto3 and SSM Contacts together.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's SSM Contacts service, enabling static type checking in mypy, pyright, and compatible editors.

Yes, if you use boto3's SSM Contacts service and want static type checking and IDE support. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license carries no restrictions. The only caveat is PyCharm performance with full stubs; if you experience slowness, the documentation recommends switching to boto3-stubs-lite instead.

## Install

pip install mypy-boto3-ssm-contacts
uv add mypy-boto3-ssm-contacts
poetry add mypy-boto3-ssm-contacts

## Installing mypy-boto3-ssm-contacts

Before you install: Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart:

pip install mypy-boto3-ssm-contacts

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_ssm_contacts import SSMContactsClient

client: SSMContactsClient = Session().client("ssm-contacts")

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works correctly with all listed Python versions (3.9–3.14) in practice.
- Performance impact when used with PyCharm (documentation warns of potential slowness with Literal overloads).
- Compatibility with boto3-stubs-lite as a lighter alternative for resource-constrained environments.
