Typing stubs for netaddr
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use netaddr and want static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low friction, and is actively maintained as part of typeshed. Install it alongside netaddr in any project using a type checker. If you don't use a type checker or don't use netaddr, it's not needed.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
types-netaddr is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the netaddr library, allowing static type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses netaddr. Since netaddr itself does not include inline type hints, these stubs are necessary for type-aware development and IDE support.
The package is maintained as part of the typeshed project, the canonical repository of type stubs for the Python ecosystem. It has no runtime dependencies and is designed purely to improve the development experience by enabling static type checking. The stubs target netaddr version 1.3.* and have been validated against mypy 2.3.0 and pyright 1.1.411.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and uses netaddr for network operations.
- Catch type errors in network address handling code before runtime in a CI/CD pipeline.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints when working with netaddr in editors that support type stubs.
- Validate that network address objects are used correctly in type-strict projects.
