types-mysqlclient
Typing stubs for mysqlclient
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use mysqlclient and run static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low install friction, and is actively maintained. Install it alongside mysqlclient in development and CI environments to catch type errors early. Not necessary if you don't use type checkers.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; only provides type information, does not provide mysqlclient itself.
- Low friction; pure Python stub package with no runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained as part of typeshed, last updated 98 days ago.

What it is and what it does
types-mysqlclient is a type stub package that supplies type annotations for the mysqlclient MySQL driver. It allows Python type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand the types and signatures of mysqlclient's API, catching type errors in your code before runtime. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are tested against current versions of popular type checkers.
This package does not provide mysqlclient itself—you must install mysqlclient separately to actually connect to MySQL databases. The stubs are purely informational for static analysis tools. They target mysqlclient 2.2.* and require Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and uses mysqlclient.
- Catch type mismatches in database connection parameters and query results before runtime.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints when working with mysqlclient in an editor.
- Enforce type safety in a CI/CD pipeline that runs static type checking on Python projects using MySQL.
