Typing stubs for atomicwrites
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use atomicwrites and need type checking support—but only if you are not using a recent version of atomicwrites that includes inline type hints. The package is unmaintained and frozen as of 2022-10-17, so verify that its stubs match your version of atomicwrites before relying on it. No security vulnerabilities are known.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package is explicitly unmaintained and has not been updated since 2022-10-17; it will not receive further fixes or improvements.

What it is and what it does
types-atomicwrites is a PEP 561 type stub package that provides type information for the atomicwrites library. It allows static type checkers—mypy, PyCharm, pytype, and similar tools—to understand and validate code that uses atomicwrites. The stubs are sourced from the Python typeshed project and are distributed as a standalone wheel with no runtime dependencies.
The package is unmaintained and will not receive updates. This means the type information is frozen at a point in time and may become outdated if atomicwrites itself evolves or if type-checking standards change. It is most useful for projects that depend on older versions of atomicwrites or that need type hints for legacy codebases.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or PyCharm to type-check code using atomicwrites in a legacy project
- Provide type hints for atomicwrites in a codebase that requires strict static type validation
- Support IDE autocomplete and type inference when working with atomicwrites APIs
