Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use reportlab and want static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low install friction, and is actively maintained. Install it alongside your type checker configuration. Not needed if you don't use type checking or don't use reportlab.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Type checker (mypy, pyright, or similar) must be configured separately.

What it is and what it does
types-reportlab is a type stub package that provides static type information for the reportlab PDF generation library. It allows developers to use type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that calls reportlab functions, catching type errors before runtime without needing to install reportlab itself during type checking.
The package is maintained as part of the typeshed project and tracks reportlab 4.5.1. It has no runtime dependencies—it exists purely to supply type annotations. Installation is straightforward, and the package is actively maintained with recent releases. It requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that generates PDF reports using reportlab
- Catch type errors in reportlab API calls during development without runtime execution
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints for reportlab methods in editors that support type stubs
- Validate reportlab usage in CI/CD pipelines using static analysis before deployment
