Typing stubs for paramiko
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use paramiko and run a static type checker. This stub package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It's a standard part of the typeshed ecosystem and directly enables type checking for paramiko code. Install it alongside paramiko when you want type safety.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
types-paramiko is a type stub package from the typeshed project that provides type annotations for paramiko. It allows type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses paramiko for SSH operations, without requiring changes to paramiko itself. The stubs are tested against mypy 2.3.0 and pyright 1.1.411.
This package is useful for developers who want static type safety when working with paramiko. It has no runtime behavior—it only provides metadata that type checkers read during analysis. Installation is straightforward with a single dependency on cryptography, and it requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and uses paramiko for SSH connections.
- Catch type errors in paramiko usage before runtime by validating argument types to SSH methods.
- Improve IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for paramiko APIs in editors that support type hints.
- Maintain type safety in larger projects that depend on paramiko while enforcing strict type checking policies.
