types-aiobotocore-eks

What it is and what it does

This package is a stub-only type annotation library for the aiobotocore EKS service, generated by mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0. It provides complete type hints for EKS client methods, paginators, and waiters, enabling static type checkers (mypy, pyright) and IDEs (VSCode with Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text) to validate your code and offer autocomplete suggestions without requiring explicit type annotations in your source.

The package is designed as a development-time dependency: you install it in your environment to get type checking and IDE support, but it is not imported at runtime. It works by providing type stubs that describe the shape of aiobotocore's EKS API, allowing your type checker to understand what methods exist, what arguments they accept, and what they return. The documentation notes that PyCharm may experience performance issues with the full type stubs due to Literal overloads, and suggests using the lite variant in that case.

Use it for:

• Enable mypy or pyright to catch type errors in aiobotocore EKS client calls before deployment.
• Get IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for EKS API methods in VSCode, PyCharm, or Emacs.
• Annotate function signatures that accept or return EKS client objects with precise types like EKSClient.
• Validate paginator and waiter usage with type hints for DescribeClustersPaginator, ListClustersPaginator, and similar constructs.
• Use TYPE_CHECKING guards to import type stubs only during type checking, keeping production dependencies minimal.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for aiobotocore EKS 3.9.0, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and compatible editors.

Yes, if you use aiobotocore for EKS and want static type checking or IDE support. Install friction is negligible (one dependency, wheel-only), maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. The only caveat: PyCharm users may experience slowness and should consider the lite variant instead. No known security vulnerabilities.

Install

types-aiobotocore-eks on PyPI

pip install types-aiobotocore-eks

uv add types-aiobotocore-eks

poetry add types-aiobotocore-eks

Installing types-aiobotocore-eks

Before you install

Low friction: single runtime dependency (typing-extensions), wheel-only distribution, and active maintenance with a recent release (12 days old).

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart

pip install types-aiobotocore-eks

from aiobotocore.session import get_session
from types_aiobotocore_eks import EKSClient

session = get_session()
async with session.create_client("eks") as client:
    client: EKSClient
    # Type checking and IDE completion now work

Requires aiobotocore 3.9.0 to be installed separately; Python 3.9 or later.

Verify before relying

• Performance impact on PyCharm with full type stubs (documentation mentions potential slowness on Literal overloads).
• Whether the lite variant (types-aiobotocore-lite) is recommended for specific IDE or use-case scenarios.
