# types-MarkupSafe — Typing stubs for MarkupSafe

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.6M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is a PEP 561 type stub package that provides type information for MarkupSafe, allowing static type checkers like mypy, PyCharm, and pytype to validate code using MarkupSafe. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project.

The description notes that MarkupSafe has included type annotations since version 2.0, and recommends uninstalling this package if using that version or newer. It remains relevant primarily for projects using older MarkupSafe versions that lack built-in type information.

Use it for:

- Type-checking code using older MarkupSafe versions with mypy or similar tools
- Providing IDE type hints for MarkupSafe usage in projects constrained to pre-2.0 versions
- Supporting static analysis in legacy projects that depend on older MarkupSafe releases

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type stubs for MarkupSafe, enabling static type checkers like mypy and PyCharm to validate code that uses MarkupSafe.

No for modern projects. The description explicitly recommends uninstalling this package if using MarkupSafe 2.0 or later, since MarkupSafe now includes its own type annotations. Install only if locked into older MarkupSafe versions lacking built-in types.

## Install

pip install types-markupsafe
uv add types-markupsafe
poetry add types-markupsafe
