Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use waitress and run a static type checker. It is a lightweight, actively maintained stub package with no runtime cost and no security vulnerabilities. Install it alongside waitress in development environments where type checking is part of your workflow.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; type checking requires mypy, pyright, or another compatible type checker to be installed separately.
- Low friction: a pure-Python stub package with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-waitress is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the waitress WSGI application server. It allows static type checkers to understand and validate code that imports and uses waitress, catching type-related errors before runtime. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are kept in sync with waitress releases.
This package is purely for development and type-checking workflows—it adds no runtime behavior and has no dependencies. If you use waitress in a codebase where you run mypy, pyright, or similar tools, installing this package enables those tools to type-check your waitress integration code accurately.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that calls waitress APIs
- Catch type mismatches in WSGI application configuration before deployment
- Support IDE autocompletion and type hints for waitress function signatures and classes
- Validate custom middleware or server configuration code that interacts with waitress
