# types-aws-xray-sdk — Typing stubs for aws-xray-sdk

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 330.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

types-aws-xray-sdk is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the aws-xray-sdk library. It allows Python type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses AWS X-Ray without requiring the runtime package to be installed. This is particularly useful in development and CI environments where you want static type checking but may not need the full SDK.

The package is maintained as part of the typeshed project and is generated from typeshed's central repository. It targets aws-xray-sdk version 2.15.* and has been tested against mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409. Since it contains only type information, it has no runtime dependencies and minimal install friction.

Use it for:

- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code using aws-xray-sdk without installing the full SDK
- Validate AWS X-Ray integration code in CI/CD pipelines with static type analysis
- Develop AWS Lambda or serverless applications with X-Ray tracing while maintaining type safety

## Worth the install?

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

Provides type stubs for aws-xray-sdk, enabling type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses AWS X-Ray SDK without requiring the runtime package.

Yes, if you use aws-xray-sdk and want type checking in your development workflow. Install it as a dev dependency alongside your type checker. It has no runtime overhead and is actively maintained. Skip it only if you don't use a type checker or don't need X-Ray type validation.

## Install

pip install types-aws-xray-sdk
uv add types-aws-xray-sdk
poetry add types-aws-xray-sdk

## Installing types-aws-xray-sdk

Before you install: Low install friction with no runtime dependencies. Actively maintained as part of typeshed; last commit 2026-08-14. Tested against mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows use in most projects without restriction.

Quickstart:

pip install types-aws-xray-sdk

# Then use in your code with type checking enabled:
# mypy or pyright will now understand aws-xray-sdk types

Requires Python >=3.10. Only useful when running a type checker; does not provide runtime functionality.

Verify before relying:

- Whether type coverage is complete for all aws-xray-sdk 2.15.* APIs
- Compatibility with type checkers beyond mypy and pyright
