mypy-boto3-swf
Type annotations for boto3 SWF 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's SWF service and want IDE support or static type checking. Install friction is minimal (one lightweight dependency, no compilation), maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. The package is a pure typing artifact, so it's safe to install in development environments or gate behind TYPE_CHECKING guards in production code.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 as a peer dependency
- Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel distribution, and actively maintained with recent releases.
- Designed as a pure type stub package with no compiled dependencies.

What it is and what it does
mypy-boto3-swf is a type stub package that adds complete type annotations to boto3's SWF service client. It's generated automatically from boto3 1.43.0 and enables static type checkers (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text) to provide accurate code completion and catch type errors before runtime.
The package is purely a typing artifact—it contains no runtime code, only type definitions for SWF client methods, paginators, and service resources. It depends only on typing-extensions and is designed to be installed alongside boto3 in your development environment. You can optionally use it only during type checking via TYPE_CHECKING guards to keep it out of production dependencies.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for boto3 SWF client calls in VSCode or PyCharm
- Catch type errors in SWF workflow definitions before deployment using mypy or pyright
- Provide explicit type hints for SWF paginator objects and service resource types in codebases
- Integrate boto3 SWF typing into CI/CD pipelines that run static type checkers
