types-stripe

What it is and what it does

types-stripe is a PEP 561 type stub package that provides type annotations for the stripe Python library. It allows static type checkers like mypy, pyright, and pytype to understand and validate code that uses the stripe package, catching type errors before runtime. The stubs are generated from typeshed and aim to cover stripe version 3.5.*.

This package is primarily useful for developers working with older versions of stripe who want type safety in their payment processing code. The description notes that stripe itself includes type annotations since version 7.1.0, and recommends uninstalling this package if using that or a newer version. The stubs are marked as partial, meaning some annotations may be incomplete.

Use it for:

• Enable mypy or pyright type checking on stripe integration code when using stripe versions prior to 7.1.0
• Catch type errors in payment processing logic during development rather than at runtime
• Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints for stripe API calls in PyCharm and other editors

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides type stubs for the stripe package, enabling static type checking of stripe code with tools like mypy, pyright, and pytype.

Yes, if you are using stripe before version 7.1.0 and want static type checking. No, if you are already on stripe 7.1.0 or later, as stripe now includes its own type annotations and the maintainers recommend uninstalling this package in that case. Check your stripe version first.

Install

Requires Python 3.8 or later. Note: stripe includes type annotations since version 7.1.0, making this package redundant for newer stripe versions.

Verify before relying

• Whether this stub package remains actively maintained given that stripe has included type annotations since 7.1.0
• Coverage completeness of the stubs for stripe 3.5.x (marked as partial in the description)
