Typing stubs for aiofiles
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use aiofiles and run type checking in your project. Install it alongside aiofiles to enable static type validation. If you don't use a type checker, it provides no value. No known vulnerabilities, low friction, and actively maintained.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Type checking requires mypy 2.1.0, pyright 1.1.409, or compatible type checker.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-aiofiles is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the aiofiles async file I/O library. It allows static type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses aiofiles, catching type errors before runtime. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are generated to match aiofiles 25.1.* releases.
This package has no runtime dependencies and is purely for development-time type checking. It's installed alongside aiofiles in projects that use type checking as part of their development workflow. The stubs were tested against mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check async file operations in aiofiles-based code.
- Catch type mismatches in file I/O calls (e.g., wrong argument types) before running tests.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints for aiofiles methods in editors that support type stubs.
- Ensure type safety in projects using aiofiles for concurrent file handling.
