types-boto3-iam

What it is and what it does

This package provides type stub annotations for boto3's IAM (Identity and Access Management) service, generated by mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0. It enables static type checking and IDE autocompletion when working with IAM clients, paginators, waiters, and resources, without requiring explicit type annotations in your code. The stubs work with mypy, pyright, VSCode (via Pylance), PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, and other tools that support Python type hints.

The package is a pure-Python stub-only distribution with minimal dependencies—only typing-extensions at runtime. It's designed to be installed alongside boto3 and used during development and type checking, though it can be excluded from production deployments using TYPE_CHECKING guards. The stubs are kept in sync with boto3 1.43.70 and are actively maintained.

Use it for:

• Enable mypy or pyright type checking in a project using boto3 IAM operations.
• Get IDE autocompletion and inline type hints for IAM client methods and parameters.
• Catch IAM API usage errors at type-check time rather than runtime.
• Document IAM service method signatures and return types in your codebase.
• Use in VSCode with Pylance for real-time type checking without explicit annotations.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion for boto3's IAM service, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and IDE tools.

Yes, if you use boto3 IAM in a typed Python project. Install friction is negligible, maintenance is active, and there are no known vulnerabilities. The MIT license imposes no restrictions. PyCharm users should be aware of potential performance issues with Literal overloads (documented in the description) and may prefer types-boto3-lite as an alternative.

Install

pip install types-boto3-iam

Installing types-boto3-iam

Before you install

Low friction: pure Python type stubs with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions). Released 2 days ago with active maintenance and 670 repository stars.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart

pip install types-boto3-iam

from boto3.session import Session
from types_boto3_iam import IAMClient

client: IAMClient = Session().client("iam")
# Type checking and IDE autocompletion now work

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.

Verify before relying

• Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (PY-40997) remain unresolved or have been addressed.
• Exact scope of type coverage for all IAM operations, paginators, waiters, and service resources.
