types-qrcode
Typing stubs for qrcode
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use qrcode and want static type checking. Install it alongside qrcode to enable type checkers to validate your code. It has low friction, no vulnerabilities, and is actively maintained. Only necessary if you're already using a type checker like mypy or pyright.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on Pillow.
- The package is actively maintained as part of the typeshed project, with recent releases and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
types-qrcode is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the qrcode library. Type stubs are metadata files that tell static type checkers like mypy and pyright what types are used in a library, allowing developers to catch type errors in their own code before runtime. This package is maintained as part of typeshed, the central repository of type information for Python packages.
The stubs are tested against mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409 and aim to provide accurate annotations for qrcode version 8.2.*. Installing this package alongside qrcode enables your IDE and type checker to understand the qrcode API and flag type mismatches in your code.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and uses qrcode
- Get IDE autocomplete and type hints when working with qrcode in a type-aware editor
- Catch type errors in QR code generation workflows before running tests
- Integrate qrcode into a codebase with strict type-checking enabled in CI/CD
