Typing stubs for cachetools

This is a type stub package for the cachetools package. It can be used by type checkers to check code that uses cachetools. This version of types-cachetools aims to provide accurate annotations for cachetools==7.0.*.

Note: The cachetools package includes type annotations or type stubs since version 7.1.0. Please uninstall the types-cachetools package if you use this or a newer version.

This package is part of the typeshed project. All fixes for types and metadata should be contributed there. See the README for more details. The source for this package can be found in the stubs/cachetools directory.

This package was tested with the following type checkers: * mypy 2.2.0 * pyright 1.1.411

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides type annotations for the cachetools library, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses cachetools.

Low friction; a pure-stub package with no runtime dependencies. Actively maintained as part of typeshed, last updated 31 days ago.

Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

Usage

pip install types-cachetools

# Type checkers will now understand cachetools imports when analyzing your code

Requires Python 3.10 or later. The description notes that cachetools 7.1.0+ includes its own type stubs, making this package redundant for those versions.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained type-stub package for cachetools 7.0.x with no security vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. Suitable for projects needing static type checking support, though obsolete if upgrading cachetools to 7.1.0 or newer.

Needs verification

Whether stub coverage is complete for all cachetools 7.0.x APIs beyond the tested type checkers (mypy 2.2.0, pyright 1.1.411).
Compatibility with type checkers other than mypy and pyright.
