Typing stubs for jwt
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are locked to jwt < 2.0.0. For jwt >= 2.0.0, the package itself provides type annotations, making this stub obsolete. The stub has not been updated since 2021-05-12 and is unlikely to track current jwt versions. Install the jwt package directly and rely on its native types instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Only useful if you are using jwt package version < 2.0.0, which lacks native type annotations.
- For jwt >= 2.0.0, uninstall this package and rely on the jwt package's built-in types.
- Low install friction with a single permissive runtime dependency (types-cryptography).

What it is and what it does
types-jwt is a PEP 561 type stub package auto-generated from typeshed that provides type information for the jwt package. It allows static type checkers (mypy, PyCharm, pytype) to understand and validate the types used in jwt code, catching type errors before runtime.
This package was designed for older jwt versions that lacked native type annotations. The jwt package has included its own type stubs since version 2.0.0, making types-jwt redundant for modern installations. The package itself has not been updated since 2021-05-12, and the underlying typeshed repository remains active, but the stub is likely no longer the recommended path for type checking jwt code.
Use it for
- Type-checking legacy code that uses jwt package versions prior to 2.0.0 with mypy or similar tools
- Validating JWT encoding and decoding operations in a type-strict codebase when using older jwt versions
- Enabling IDE autocompletion and type hints for jwt functions in projects locked to pre-2.0.0 jwt releases

Before you install
Low install friction with a single permissive runtime dependency (types-cryptography). However, the package has not been updated since 2021-05-12; the jwt package itself has included native type annotations since version 2.0.0, making this stub package potentially obsolete for modern jwt versions.
Only useful if you are using jwt package version < 2.0.0, which lacks native type annotations. For jwt >= 2.0.0, uninstall this package and rely on the jwt package's built-in types.
