Typing stubs for passlib
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use passlib and want static type checking. Install it as a dev dependency alongside passlib itself. The package is unmaintained but actively synced from typeshed, so it remains current. No runtime overhead, low friction, and no security concerns. Requires Python 3.10+.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- The passlib package itself must be installed separately for runtime use.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.

Alternatives
Verify before relying
pip install types-passlib
# In your code, type checkers will now understand passlib imports:
import passlib.context
ctx: passlib.context.CryptContext = passlib.context.CryptContext(schemes=['bcrypt'])- Whether passlib itself is installed separately or whether these stubs alone enable type checking without the runtime package.
- Whether the stubs cover all passlib APIs or only a subset of the passlib==1.7.* surface.
What it is and what it does
types-passlib is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the passlib password-hashing library. It allows static type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that imports and uses passlib, catching type errors before runtime. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are generated from typeshed's central repository, ensuring consistency with the broader Python typing ecosystem.
The package is marked unmaintained but remains actively synced from typeshed. It targets passlib version 1.7.* and has been tested against mypy 1.19.1 and pyright 1.1.408. Installing it is purely for development and type-checking purposes; it adds no runtime behavior and has no dependencies of its own.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that uses passlib for password hashing and verification.
- Catch type errors in passlib API calls during development rather than at runtime.
- Integrate passlib type information into a project's CI/CD type-checking pipeline.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for passlib methods and classes.
