Typing stubs for retry
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use the retry package and run a static type checker in your development workflow. It has no runtime cost, no dependencies, and is actively maintained. If you don't use a type checker or don't use retry, there's no reason to install it.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Only useful when running a type checker (mypy, pyright) as part of your development workflow; does not affect runtime behavior.
- Low install friction; a pure stub package with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-retry is a type stub package that provides static type annotations for the retry library. It allows type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand the types and signatures of retry's decorators and utility functions, catching type errors at development time rather than runtime. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are tested against mypy 1.20.0 and pyright 1.1.408.
This package is purely for development and type-checking; it contains no runtime code and has no dependencies. You install it alongside the actual retry package to enable type safety in code that uses retry's retry decorator and related functions. It targets retry version 0.9.* and is kept in sync with typeshed's main branch.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that decorates functions with @retry without false positives or missing type information.
- Catch type errors in retry configuration (e.g., invalid exception types or delay parameters) before runtime.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for retry's API when using a type-aware editor.
