Typing stubs for freezegun
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are locked into freezegun < 1.2.1. For any modern freezegun installation (1.2.1+), uninstall this package and rely on freezegun's built-in type stubs instead. The package has not been updated since 2022-06-09 and the project itself recommends against using it with current freezegun versions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Only needed if using freezegun < 1.2.1; freezegun 1.2.1+ includes its own type stubs, making this package redundant.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package is outdated: freezegun has included its own type annotations since version 1.2.1, making this stub package unnecessary for modern freezegun installations.

What it is and what it does
This is a PEP 561 type stub package that provides type information for the freezegun time-mocking library. It allows static type checkers like mypy, PyCharm, and pytype to understand and validate the types used in freezegun code without needing runtime execution. The stubs are sourced from the typeshed project, a centralized repository of type definitions for the Python ecosystem.
However, this package is largely obsolete: freezegun has shipped with its own type annotations since version 1.2.1, making separate stubs unnecessary for modern installations. The package has not been updated since 2022-06-09, and the description explicitly recommends uninstalling it if you use freezegun 1.2.1 or newer.
Use it for
- Type-checking legacy projects that depend on freezegun versions older than 1.2.1 without built-in type support.
- Providing type hints in environments where freezegun's bundled stubs are unavailable or not recognized by the type checker.
- Validating freezegun usage in codebases that require strict type checking before freezegun added native type annotations.
