Type annotations for boto3 KMS 1.43.12 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use boto3 KMS and want IDE autocompletion or static type checking. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the MIT license poses no restrictions. The package is a pure type-stub with no runtime overhead when guarded by TYPE_CHECKING. Skip it only if you do not use type checking or IDE type hints in your workflow.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.
- Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions).
- Actively maintained as of 2026-06-22 with stable production status.

What it is and what it does
types-boto3-kms is a type-stub package that adds static type information to boto3's KMS service client. It is generated from boto3 1.43.12 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0 and works with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, pyright, and other type-aware tools. When installed, it enables IDE autocompletion and type checking on KMS client methods without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.
The package is designed as a development dependency—you can use TYPE_CHECKING guards to avoid including it in production builds. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and has a single runtime dependency on typing-extensions. The generated stubs cover KMS client operations, paginators, waiters, and type definitions, allowing your IDE and type checker to catch potential bugs before runtime.
Use it for
- Enable IDE autocompletion and type hints when writing boto3 KMS client code in VSCode or PyCharm.
- Run mypy or pyright type checking on KMS operations to catch incorrect argument types or missing required parameters.
- Use in a development environment to catch AWS API misuse early without runtime errors.
- Provide type information for KMS paginator and waiter operations in type-aware editors.
- Guard type imports with TYPE_CHECKING to keep type stubs out of production dependencies.
