types-boto3-sqs
Type annotations for boto3 SQS 1.43.0 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. If you use boto3 SQS and want type safety or IDE support, this is a straightforward install with minimal friction. It's actively maintained, has no vulnerabilities, and works transparently with standard type checkers and IDEs. Install it unless you have a specific reason to avoid type stubs (e.g., strict production-only dependencies).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 install friction with a single runtime dependency (typing-extensions).
- Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22 and 670 repository stars indicate ongoing support.

What it is and what it does
types-boto3-sqs is a type stub package that adds complete type annotations to boto3's SQS service. It enables static type checkers like mypy and pyright, plus IDE code completion in VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, and Sublime Text, to understand boto3 SQS client calls without explicit type hints. The package is generated automatically from boto3 1.43.0 using mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0.
You install it alongside boto3 and your type checker or IDE picks it up automatically—no code changes needed. It covers SQS clients, paginators, service resources, and type definitions. The package is lightweight (only typing-extensions as a runtime dependency) and marked as production-stable, with active maintenance and no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to catch type errors in boto3 SQS code before runtime.
- Get IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for SQS client methods and parameters.
- Annotate SQSClient types explicitly in function signatures for better code clarity.
- Use with VSCode and Pylance for seamless type checking without configuration.
- Support paginator and service resource type hints for complex SQS workflows.
