What it is and what it does
ob-metaflow-stubs is a type-hint package that provides stub files (.pyi) for type information. It does not add runtime functionality; instead, it supplies type information that IDEs and language servers use to offer autocompletion, inline documentation, and type checking. When installed, it enables modern Python development tools like VSCode and Pylance to understand the API surface of the underlying package.
The package has no runtime dependencies and installs with low friction. It is actively maintained and supports Python versions from 3.7.0 onward. It is most useful for developers who want better IDE support and static type checking when working with the underlying package, rather than for end users running code at scale.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocompletion and inline type hints when writing code in stub-aware editors.
- Catch type errors during static analysis without running code.
- Improve developer experience by reducing the need to consult external documentation for function signatures.
- Support type-checking tools like mypy or pyright to validate code before deployment.
