types-aiobotocore-sqs
Type annotations for aiobotocore SQS 3.9.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. If you use aiobotocore for SQS and want IDE autocomplete or type checking, this package is essential and has no downsides: it is lightweight, actively maintained, permissively licensed, has no known vulnerabilities, and requires only a common utility dependency. Install it in your development environment or behind a TYPE_CHECKING block.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; aiobotocore 3.9.0 must be installed separately to use the client at runtime.
- Low install friction with a single lightweight runtime dependency (typing-extensions).
- Package is actively maintained with a recent release and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This package is a type-stub library that adds static type annotations to aiobotocore's SQS service client. It is generated automatically from aiobotocore 3.9.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and contains no runtime code—it exists solely to enable type checkers and IDEs to understand the shape and behavior of SQS client methods, paginators, waiters, and service resources.
When installed, it enables IDE autocomplete, inline documentation, and type checking in mypy and pyright without requiring explicit type annotations in your code. It supports VSCode with Pylance, PyCharm, Emacs with lsp-pyright, Sublime Text with LSP-pyright, and any other editor that understands Python type hints. The package depends only on typing-extensions and has no other runtime dependencies, making it safe to install in development environments or behind a TYPE_CHECKING guard in production code.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for aiobotocore SQS operations in VSCode or PyCharm without writing manual type annotations.
- Run mypy or pyright type checking on async AWS SQS code to catch method signature and argument type errors at development time.
- Provide type hints for SQS client, paginator, and waiter objects when using aiobotocore in a type-strict codebase.
- Support linting and type checking in Emacs or Sublime Text via LSP-pyright with full SQS API visibility.
- Guard type stubs behind TYPE_CHECKING to avoid runtime dependencies while maintaining full IDE support during development.
