# types-typed-ast — Typing stubs for typed-ast

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 516.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

types-typed-ast is a PEP 561 type stub package that provides type annotations for the typed-ast library. It allows static type checkers like mypy, pyright, and pytype to understand and validate code that uses typed-ast for AST manipulation. The package contains no runtime code—it exists solely to inform type checkers about typed-ast's API surface.

The package is unmaintained and will not receive updates. It was last generated from typeshed and tested against mypy 1.4.1, pyright 1.1.316, and pytype 2023.6.16. If you use typed-ast in a project with type checking enabled, installing this package removes type-checking errors and improves IDE support; without it, type checkers will report unknown symbols.

Use it for:

- Enable type checkers to validate code that uses typed-ast without reporting unknown-symbol errors.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for typed-ast APIs in editors supporting PEP 561 stubs.
- Support projects that depend on typed-ast for AST analysis while maintaining type safety.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type stubs for the typed-ast package, enabling static type checkers like mypy, pyright, and pytype to understand code using typed-ast.

Yes, if you actively use typed-ast in a project with type checking enabled—install it to silence type-checker warnings and improve IDE support. No, if starting a new project, since typed-ast is unmaintained. The package itself is stable but will not be updated for newer type-checker versions.

## Install

pip install types-typed-ast
uv add types-typed-ast
poetry add types-typed-ast

## Installing types-typed-ast

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Package is marked unmaintained and has not been updated since 2023-07-05, though the underlying typeshed repository remains active.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install types-typed-ast

# Type checkers will now understand typed-ast imports without errors

This package is only useful if you are already using typed-ast in your project and running a PEP 561-compatible type checker.

Verify before relying:

- Whether typed-ast itself is still actively maintained or if alternatives are recommended for new projects.
- Compatibility with type checkers released after the last tested versions (mypy 1.4.1, pyright 1.1.316, pytype 2023.6.16).
- Whether this package provides complete type coverage for all typed-ast APIs.
