Typing stubs for pyserial
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use pyserial and want static type checking. Install it alongside pyserial to enable type validation in mypy or pyright with zero runtime overhead. No security concerns, actively maintained, and permissively licensed. Only skip it if you don't use a type checker or don't use pyserial.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Only useful when used alongside the actual pyserial package and a compatible type checker.
- Low friction installation with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-pyserial is a type stub package that adds static type information to the pyserial library. It allows Python type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses pyserial's serial port APIs, catching type errors before runtime. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are kept in sync with pyserial 3.5.* releases.
This package contains no runtime code—it only provides type annotations. You install it alongside pyserial to enable type checking in your IDE and CI/CD pipelines. It requires Python 3.10 or later and has no external dependencies, making it a lightweight addition to any project that already uses pyserial.
Use it for
- Enable type checkers to validate code that uses pyserial for serial port communication.
- Catch type mismatches in serial port configuration at development time.
- Add IDE autocomplete and inline type hints for pyserial methods and properties.
- Enforce type safety in embedded systems or IoT projects that communicate over serial interfaces.
- Integrate serial port code into a strictly typed Python codebase without disabling type checking.
