# types-python-http-client — Typing stubs for python-http-client

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 89.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is a type stub package from the typeshed project that provides type annotations for python-http-client. It does not add runtime functionality; instead, it allows static type checkers like mypy (tested with 2.1.0) and pyright (tested with 1.1.409) to understand and validate the types used by python-http-client when you call its APIs in your own code.

The stubs are kept in sync with python-http-client 3.3.7 and are maintained as part of typeshed, a centralized repository of type information for third-party libraries. Installing this package alongside python-http-client enables type-safe development without modifying the underlying library itself.

Use it for:

- Enable static type checkers to catch type errors in code that uses python-http-client
- Improve IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for python-http-client APIs
- Enforce type safety in CI/CD pipelines that run static type checks on projects using python-http-client
- Document the expected parameter and return types for python-http-client in your codebase

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type hints for python-http-client, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses the library.

Yes, if you use python-http-client 3.3.7 and run static type checking. The package is actively maintained, has no dependencies, and is part of the official typeshed project. Install it only if you are already using a type checker; it provides no value at runtime.

## Install

pip install types-python-http-client
uv add types-python-http-client
poetry add types-python-http-client

## Installing types-python-http-client

Before you install: Low friction: a pure-Python stub package with no runtime dependencies. Maintained actively as part of typeshed; last commit 2026-08-14.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows use in most projects without restriction.

Quickstart:

pip install types-python-http-client

# Type checkers will now understand types when using python-http-client
# in your code, enabling static type validation during development

Requires Python 3.10 or later; intended for use alongside python-http-client 3.3.7.

Verify before relying:

- Whether this stub package is compatible with python-http-client versions other than 3.3.7
- Whether type coverage is complete for all public APIs in python-http-client 3.3.7
- Whether the stubs work correctly with type checkers beyond mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409
