# types-aiobotocore-athena — Type annotations for aiobotocore Athena 3.9.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 154.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to aiobotocore's Athena service. It is generated automatically from the aiobotocore library and provides IDE code completion, parameter hints, and return-type checking for async AWS Athena operations. The stubs work with VSCode (via Pylance), PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and command-line type checkers like mypy and pyright.

The package contains no runtime code—it only supplies type annotations. You install it alongside aiobotocore to enable your editor and type checker to understand the Athena client API. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and depends only on typing-extensions. The stubs cover client methods, paginators, waiters, and type definitions for Athena service operations.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocomplete and parameter hints when writing async Athena queries with aiobotocore.
- Catch type errors in Athena client calls during development with mypy or pyright before runtime.
- Provide explicit type annotations for AthenaClient, paginators, and waiters in production code.
- Support gradual typing adoption in a codebase using aiobotocore by annotating Athena interactions.
- Improve code maintainability by documenting expected argument and return types for Athena operations.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type annotations for aiobotocore's Athena service, enabling IDE code completion and static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes. Install this if you use aiobotocore for Athena and want IDE code completion or static type checking. It has no runtime overhead, low install friction, active maintenance, and MIT licensing. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with the full stubs (the docs recommend the lite variant in that case), but VSCode, mypy, and pyright users should see immediate benefit.

## Install

pip install types-aiobotocore-athena
uv add types-aiobotocore-athena
poetry add types-aiobotocore-athena

## Installing types-aiobotocore-athena

Before you install: Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Released 12 days ago with active maintenance; the underlying builder project has 670 stars and recent commits.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—safe for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install types-aiobotocore-athena

from aiobotocore.session import get_session
from types_aiobotocore_athena import AthenaClient

session = get_session()
async with session.create_client("athena") as client:
    client: AthenaClient  # type checker now understands client methods

Requires aiobotocore 3.9.0 to be installed separately; type annotations are stubs only and do not provide runtime functionality.

Verify before relying:

- Performance impact on PyCharm noted in docs (issue PY-40997) but severity and current status unclear.
- Whether types-aiobotocore-lite variant is necessary for your IDE or if full stubs work acceptably.
