mypy-boto3-textract

What it is and what it does

This package is a type stub library that adds static type information for AWS Textract service calls made through boto3. It is generated automatically from boto3's service model and works with mypy, pyright, VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other tools that support Python type hints. When installed, it enables IDE autocompletion and catches type errors at development time without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is a thin wrapper—it has only one runtime dependency (typing-extensions) and adds no overhead to production code. It supports modern Python versions from 3.9 onward and is actively maintained, with releases tracking boto3 updates. The documentation notes that PyCharm users may experience performance issues with large Literal overloads and recommends using the lite variant or external type checkers like mypy in those cases.

Use it for:

• Enable IDE autocomplete and type checking for boto3 Textract client methods in VSCode with Pylance
• Catch Textract API usage errors at development time using mypy or pyright before running code
• Add type safety to Textract paginator and resource calls without writing manual type annotations
• Use Textract in PyCharm with the lite variant to avoid performance degradation from large type overload sets
• Integrate Textract type hints into CI/CD pipelines running mypy or pyright for static validation

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for the boto3 Textract service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes. If you use boto3 Textract in a Python project, installing this package is a low-friction way to gain IDE autocompletion and static type checking with no runtime cost. The single dependency, active maintenance, and permissive MIT license make it a straightforward addition to any development environment. Skip it only if you have no type checker or IDE integration in your workflow.

Installing mypy-boto3-textract

Before you install

Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel-only distribution, and active maintenance with a release 3 days ago. Supports Python 3.9 through 3.14.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects with minimal obligations.

Quickstart

pip install mypy-boto3-textract

from boto3.session import Session
from mypy_boto3_textract import TextractClient

client: TextractClient = Session().client("textract")
# Type checking and IDE completion now work for Textract API calls

Requires boto3 1.43.69 to be installed separately; Python 3.9 or later.
