About types-PyYAML

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

Typing stubs for PyYAML

This is a type stub package for the PyYAML package. It can be used by type checkers to check code that uses PyYAML. This version of types-PyYAML aims to provide accurate annotations for PyYAML==6.0.*.

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 the stubs/PyYAML directory.

This package was tested with the following type checkers: * mypy 2.3.0 * pyright 1.1.411

It was generated from typeshed commit 97e83f65cee88c0c978fa34668d9f59b8c362fce.

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 hints and stub annotations for PyYAML, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses the PyYAML library.

Minimal friction: zero runtime dependencies, pure stub package distributed as a wheel. Actively maintained with a release 20 days old and ongoing typeshed integration.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows use in most projects without restriction, including commercial and proprietary software.

Usage

pip install types-PyYAML

# Type checkers will now understand PyYAML imports when validating your code

Requires Python 3.10 or later; only provides type information and does not replace the PyYAML package itself.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained type stub package with no dependencies and permissive licensing. Suitable for any project using PyYAML that wants static type checking support with mypy or pyright. No known vulnerabilities.

Needs verification

Whether this package is automatically installed as a dependency of PyYAML or must be explicitly added to type-checking workflows.
Coverage completeness: what percentage of PyYAML's public API is annotated in this stub version.
