Typing stubs for termcolor
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are constrained to termcolor versions before 2.0.0. The package has not been updated since 2023-03-28 and is now obsolete for termcolor 2.0.0 and newer, which include their own type annotations. If you are using a current termcolor release, skip this stub package.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package has not been updated since 2023-03-28, and the description notes that termcolor has included its own type annotations since version 2.0.0, making this package potentially obsolete for recent termcolor users.

What it is and what it does
types-termcolor is a PEP 561 type stub package that provides type information for the termcolor package. It allows type-checking tools like mypy, pyright, pytype, and PyCharm to understand and validate code that uses termcolor, catching type errors at check time rather than runtime.
The package is maintained as part of the typeshed project and has been inactive since 2023-03-28. The description notes that termcolor has included type annotations or type stubs since version 2.0.0, making this stub package redundant for users of current termcolor releases. Installation is only necessary if you are locked to termcolor versions before 2.0.0 and need type checking support.
Use it for
- Type-checking legacy projects that depend on termcolor versions before 2.0.0
- Enabling mypy or pyright validation in codebases using older termcolor versions
- Providing IDE type hints in PyCharm for pre-2.0.0 termcolor calls
- Migrating a codebase to strict type checking when termcolor upgrade is not immediately possible
