About types-setuptools

Typing stubs for setuptools

This is a type stub package for the setuptools package. It can be used by type checkers to check code that uses setuptools. This version of types-setuptools aims to provide accurate annotations for setuptools==84.0.*.

Given that pkg_resources is typed since setuptools >= 71.1, it is no longer included with types-setuptools.

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/setuptools directory.

This package was tested with the following type checkers: * mypy 2.3.0 * pyrefly 1.3.0.dev1 * pyright 1.1.411 * ty 0.0.59

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 for setuptools, enabling static type checkers to validate code that uses setuptools.

Actively maintained with a release 1 day old. Zero runtime dependencies and a pure-Python wheel keep installation friction minimal.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows use in most projects, including commercial and proprietary code, with minimal restrictions.

Usage

pip install types-setuptools==84.0.0.20260812

Requires Python 3.10 or later; intended for use with type checkers, not runtime functionality.

Verdict: A lean, actively maintained type stub package with no dependencies and permissive licensing. Tested against mypy 2.3.0, pyright 1.1.411, and other current type checkers for setuptools 84.0.*.
