Typing stubs for shapely
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use shapely and want static type checking. Install it as a development dependency alongside shapely 2.1.*. It has no runtime cost, low friction, and is actively maintained by typeshed. No security concerns. Only skip it if you do not use a type checker or do not use shapely.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; intended for use with shapely 2.1.* versions.
- Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency on numpy.
- Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit within days of the package version date.

What it is and what it does
types-shapely is a type stub package that bridges the gap between shapely's geometric library and Python's static type checkers. It provides type annotations for shapely's API, allowing tools like mypy, pyright, and ty to catch type errors in code that uses shapely for geometric operations. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are tested against multiple type checkers to ensure accuracy.
This package is a pure annotation layer—it has no runtime behavior and does not replace shapely itself. You install it alongside shapely to enable type checking during development. It depends only on numpy, matching shapely's own dependency, and requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that creates and manipulates geometric objects with shapely
- Catch type mismatches in shapely function calls before runtime in a CI/CD pipeline
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints for shapely methods in editors that support type stubs
- Validate geometric coordinate and geometry object types in data processing pipelines
