types-grpcio-reflection

What it is and what it does

This is a type stub package—a collection of type annotations without runtime code—for grpcio-reflection. It allows static type checkers like mypy 1.20.0 and pyright 1.1.408 to understand the types and signatures of the grpcio-reflection library when you use it in your own code. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project.

You install it alongside grpcio-reflection itself. The package has no runtime behavior; its only purpose is to give your type checker the information it needs to validate calls to grpcio-reflection APIs. It depends on types-grpcio and types-protobuf, which provide stubs for their respective libraries.

Use it for:

• Enable mypy or pyright to catch type errors in code that uses grpcio-reflection before runtime.
• Document the expected types of grpcio-reflection function arguments and return values in your IDE.
• Integrate gRPC reflection into a codebase that enforces strict type checking in CI/CD.
• Reduce debugging time by catching reflection API misuse at type-check time rather than runtime.

Worth the install?

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

Provides type hints for grpcio-reflection, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code using gRPC reflection APIs.

Yes, if you use grpcio-reflection and run a static type checker. Install it as a dev dependency alongside grpcio-reflection. It has no runtime overhead and is actively maintained. If you do not use type checking or do not use grpcio-reflection, it is unnecessary.

Install

types-grpcio-reflection on PyPI

pip install types-grpcio-reflection

uv add types-grpcio-reflection

poetry add types-grpcio-reflection

Installing types-grpcio-reflection

Before you install

Low install friction with a wheel-only distribution. Actively maintained as part of typeshed; last commit 2026-08-14. Requires Python >=3.10.

License in practice

Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), imposing no significant restrictions on use or redistribution in most contexts.

Quickstart

pip install types-grpcio-reflection

# In your type-checked code, type checkers will now understand types-grpcio and types-protobuf APIs

Requires Python >=3.10; grpcio-reflection must be installed separately for runtime functionality.

Verify before relying

• Whether this stub package is kept in sync with all grpcio-reflection 1.* releases or only a subset.
• Whether the stub covers all public APIs of grpcio-reflection or only a subset.
• Specific type-checking workflow integration steps beyond installation.
