Typing stubs for Werkzeug
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are constrained to Werkzeug 1.x. For any modern Werkzeug installation (2.0+), this package is unnecessary and should not be installed—Werkzeug's own type stubs are superior and kept in sync with releases. If you are on Werkzeug 1.x, it provides value, but upgrading Werkzeug is the better path forward.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Only useful if you are using Werkzeug version 1.x or early 2.0 releases; Werkzeug 2.0+ includes its own type stubs, making this package redundant.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package has not been updated since November 2021, and Werkzeug itself has included native type annotations since version 2.0—this stub package is now largely obsolete for modern Werkzeug installations.

What it is and what it does
types-Werkzeug is a type stub package that bridges the gap between older versions of Werkzeug and modern type checkers. It provides type information for Werkzeug's public API, allowing tools like mypy, PyCharm, and pytype to perform static type checking on code that uses Werkzeug. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project, a community repository of type definitions for popular Python packages.
However, this package has been superseded: Werkzeug itself has shipped with native type annotations since version 2.0, making types-Werkzeug redundant for any modern installation. The package has not been updated since November 2021, and the description explicitly recommends uninstalling it if you use Werkzeug 2.0 or later. It remains relevant only for legacy codebases still on Werkzeug 1.x.
Use it for
- Type-checking legacy code that depends on Werkzeug 1.x with mypy or similar tools.
- Adding type safety to older Flask or Werkzeug-based projects without upgrading the framework.
- Verifying type correctness in CI/CD pipelines for applications locked to pre-2.0 Werkzeug versions.
