Type stubs for openpyxl
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are using openpyxl with a version released before or around January 2023 and want mypy type checking. No, if you rely on recent openpyxl features or expect ongoing maintenance—the package is abandoned and type stubs may be incomplete or outdated for current openpyxl versions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Installation is straightforward with no complex dependencies beyond mypy, typing-extensions, and openpyxl itself.
- However, the package is marked as abandoned with no commits since 2023-01-12, meaning type stubs may not reflect recent openpyxl API changes.

What it is and what it does
openpyxl-stubs is a type stub package that adds type annotations for openpyxl, enabling mypy to understand and validate code that uses openpyxl for reading and writing Excel files. Once installed, mypy automatically recognizes the type information without requiring any additional configuration.
The package works by providing type definitions that mypy consults during static analysis. It depends on mypy, typing-extensions, and openpyxl itself. The package is classified as Alpha and has not been actively maintained since 2023-01-12, so its type coverage may lag behind newer openpyxl releases.
Use it for
- Enable mypy type checking in projects that use openpyxl to read or write Excel spreadsheets
- Catch type errors at development time when passing openpyxl objects between functions
- Document expected types for openpyxl function parameters and return values in your codebase
- Integrate openpyxl into a strictly typed Python project without disabling type checking for Excel-related code
