Typing stubs for unidiff
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are using unidiff 0.7.x and rely on static type checking. Install it alongside unidiff 0.7.* to get full type support. No, if you are already on unidiff 1.0.0 or newer—uninstall this package and use unidiff's built-in type annotations instead. The package is actively maintained and has no known vulnerabilities.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Only useful if you are using unidiff 0.7.x; unidiff 1.0.0+ includes its own type stubs.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-unidiff is a type stub package that provides type hints for the unidiff library, which parses unified diff format files. It is part of the typeshed project and allows static type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses unidiff. The stubs target unidiff 0.7.x specifically and have been tested against mypy 2.3.0 and pyright 1.1.411.
This package is a stub-only distribution with no runtime dependencies, so it adds no overhead to your environment. However, it is primarily useful for developers still on unidiff 0.7.x; the unidiff package itself has included type annotations since version 1.0.0, making this stub package redundant for newer versions.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that parses unified diff files with unidiff 0.7.x
- Catch type errors in diff-parsing workflows before runtime in CI/CD pipelines
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline type hints for unidiff API calls in editors like VS Code
