Typing stubs for tornado
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless locked into tornado versions before 6.0. For tornado 6.0 or later, tornado's built-in type annotations make this package redundant. The package has not been updated since 2021-08-27, and its own description recommends uninstalling it if using tornado 6.0 or newer.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction as a pure stub package with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package has not been updated since 2021-08-27, and the description notes that tornado has included type annotations since version 6.0.

Verify before relying
pip install types-tornado==5.1.1
import tornado.web
# Type checkers can now validate tornado code- Whether tornado 6.0+ built-in type annotations fully replace types-tornado for all use cases.
- Current compatibility with recent tornado versions and modern type checkers.
- Whether this package remains necessary for any active tornado deployments.
What it is and what it does
types-tornado is a type stub package that provides type information for the tornado package to static type checkers. It allows tools like mypy, PyCharm, and pytype to understand tornado code and catch type errors at development time. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project.
The package description explicitly notes that tornado has included type annotations since version 6.0, and recommends uninstalling types-tornado if you use that version or newer. The package has not been updated since 2021-08-27.
Use it for
- Type-checking code that depends on tornado versions before 6.0.
- Enabling IDE autocompletion in projects using older tornado releases.
- Validating tornado usage in codebases where upgrading tornado is not immediately feasible.
