Typing stubs for httplib2
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use httplib2 and run static type checking. This is a lightweight, actively maintained stub package with no dependencies and permissive licensing. Install it alongside httplib2 to enable type checkers to validate your HTTP client code. Not necessary if you don't use type checking or don't use httplib2.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- The package itself is stubs-only and does not provide runtime functionality; httplib2 must be installed separately.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.

Verify before relying
pip install types-httplib2
# In your code, type checkers will now understand httplib2:
import httplib2
http = httplib2.Http()
response, content = http.request('http://example.com')- Whether the stubs cover the full public API of httplib2 0.32.0 or only a subset
- Compatibility with httplib2 versions other than 0.32.0
What it is and what it does
This package provides type stub files (.pyi) for httplib2, a mature HTTP client library. Type stubs are metadata files that tell static type checkers like mypy and pyright what types httplib2's functions and classes accept and return, without modifying httplib2 itself. The stubs are maintained as part of typeshed, the community repository of type information for popular Python packages.
When installed alongside httplib2, this package allows your IDE and type checker to catch type errors in code that uses httplib2—for example, passing the wrong argument type to http.request() or accessing non-existent attributes on response objects. The stubs are tested against mypy 2.3.0 and pyright 1.1.411, and track httplib2 version 0.32.0.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that calls httplib2 methods and functions
- Catch type errors in HTTP client code before runtime in a CI/CD pipeline
- Get IDE autocomplete and inline type hints when working with httplib2 in an editor that supports type stubs
- Verify that your code passes httplib2 the correct argument types and uses its return values correctly
