Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Install this if you use boto3 with WAFV2 and want IDE autocompletion and static type checking. It has minimal install friction, no security vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and active maintenance. Use it as a development dependency only—it adds no runtime overhead and is compatible with all major Python type checkers and IDEs.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 installation with a single lightweight dependency (typing-extensions).
- The package is actively maintained with a recent release and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information for boto3's WAFV2 (AWS Web Application Firewall V2) service. It enables IDEs like VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text to provide code completion and type checking when working with the WAFV2 API, and works with type checkers like mypy and pyright. The stubs are generated from boto3's service definitions and include client type annotations, literal types for valid parameter values, and type definitions for request and response structures.
The package is designed as a development dependency—it provides no runtime functionality but improves the developer experience by catching type errors early and offering IDE autocompletion. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and has a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions. The stubs can be used standalone or as part of the broader boto3-stubs ecosystem, which covers all AWS services.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocompletion and inline documentation when writing WAFV2 API calls with boto3 in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Catch type errors in WAFV2 service calls during development using mypy or pyright before runtime.
- Provide explicit type hints for WAFV2Client, literals, and type definitions in a codebase that uses TYPE_CHECKING guards.
- Improve code maintainability by documenting expected parameter types and return shapes for WAFV2 operations.
- Integrate WAFV2 type checking into CI/CD pipelines that run mypy or pyright as part of code quality checks.
