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

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 1.4M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a type-stub library that adds static type information to aiobotocore's CloudFormation service. It is generated by mypy-boto3-builder and provides complete type annotations for CloudFormation clients, paginators, waiters, and service resources, enabling IDEs and type checkers to offer accurate code completion and catch type errors before runtime.

The stubs work with VSCode (via Pylance), PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, pyright, and other tools that support Python type hints. It has a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions and installs as a pure-Python wheel with no compiled components. The package is actively maintained, with recent releases tracking aiobotocore's service versions.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocompletion and inline documentation for aiobotocore CloudFormation operations without writing manual type annotations.
- Catch CloudFormation API misuse (wrong parameter types, missing required fields) during development with mypy or pyright.
- Provide type hints for CloudFormation paginators and waiters to ensure correct async iteration patterns.
- Support team development by making CloudFormation client code self-documenting through type information in editors.
- Use in CI/CD pipelines to enforce type safety on CloudFormation infrastructure-as-code scripts before deployment.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for aiobotocore's CloudFormation service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and editor support.

Yes. This is a lightweight, actively maintained type-stub package with no security issues, permissive licensing, and low install friction. Install it if you use aiobotocore's CloudFormation service and want IDE support or static type checking—it costs nothing in runtime overhead and catches real bugs. The only caveat is PyCharm users may experience performance issues with Literal overloads; consider the lite variant if that occurs.

## Install

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

## Installing types-aiobotocore-cloudformation

Before you install: Low friction install—a single pure-Python wheel with only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency. Actively maintained, released 12 days ago, with no known vulnerabilities.

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

Quickstart:

# Install
python -m pip install types-aiobotocore-cloudformation

# Use in code
from aiobotocore.session import get_session
from types_aiobotocore_cloudformation import CloudFormationClient

session = get_session()
async with session.create_client("cloudformation") as client:
    client: CloudFormationClient
    # Type checking and IDE completion now available

Requires Python 3.9 or later; designed for use with aiobotocore 3.9.0.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues with Literal overloads (PY-40997) remain unresolved as of 2026.
- Compatibility with aiobotocore versions other than 3.9.0.
