About types-protobuf

from the package's own PyPI description — quoted content, verbatim

Typing stubs for protobuf

This is a type stub package for the protobuf package. It can be used by type checkers to check code that uses protobuf. This version of types-protobuf aims to provide accurate annotations for protobuf~=7.34.1.

Partially generated using mypy-protobuf==3.6.0 and libprotoc 34.1 on protobuf v34.1 (python protobuf==7.34.1).

This stub package is marked as partial. If you find that annotations are missing, feel free to contribute and help complete them.

This package is part of the typeshed project. All fixes for types and metadata should be contributed there. See the README for more details. The source for this package can be found in...

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides type stubs for protobuf, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses protobuf without requiring the full protobuf runtime.

Minimal friction: a pure-Python stub package with zero runtime dependencies, distributed as a wheel. Active maintenance from the typeshed project with recent releases.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows free use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions.

Usage

pip install types-protobuf==7.34.1.20260518

Requires Python 3.10 or later. This is a stub-only package; the actual protobuf runtime must be installed separately.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained type-stub package from the official typeshed project, suitable for adding type safety to protobuf code. Zero security vulnerabilities and permissive licensing make it a safe choice for type-checking workflows.

Needs verification

Coverage completeness: the package is marked as partial; extent of missing annotations for protobuf 7.34.1 is unknown.
Whether mypy-protobuf 3.6.0 and libprotoc 34.1 remain current for the latest protobuf releases.
