How to install

<a id="generate-locally-(recommended)"></a>

Generate locally (recommended)

You can generate type annotations for boto3 package locally with mypy-boto3-builder. Use uv for build isolation.

1. Run mypy-boto3-builder in your package root directory: uvx --with 'boto3==1.42.3' mypy-boto3-builder
2. Select boto3-stubs AWS SDK.
3. Add STS service.
4. Use provided commands to install generated packages.

<a id="vscode-extension"></a>

VSCode extension

Add AWS Boto3 extension to your VSCode and run AWS boto3: Quick Start command.

Click Modify and select boto3 common and STS.

<a id="from-pypi-with-pip"></a>

From PyPI with pip

Install boto3-stubs for STS service.

# install with boto3 type annotations
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

# Lite version does not provide session.client/resource overloads
# it is more RAM-friendly, but requires explicit type annotations
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs-lite[sts]'

# standalone installation
python -m pip install mypy-boto3-sts

<a id="how-to-uninstall"></a>

How to uninstall

python -m pip uninstall -y mypy-boto3-sts

<a id="usage"></a>

Usage

<a id="vscode"></a>

VSCode

• Install Python extension
• Install Pylance extension
• Set Pylance as your Python Language Server
• Install boto3-stubs[sts] in your environment:

python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

Both type checking and code completion should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write your boto3 code as usual.

<a id="pycharm"></a>

PyCharm

⚠️ Due to slow PyCharm performance on Literal overloads (issue PY-40997), it is recommended to use boto3-stubs-lite until the issue is resolved.

⚠️ If you experience slow performance and high CPU usage, try to disable PyCharm type checker and use mypy or pyright instead.

⚠️ To continue using PyCharm type checker, you can try to replace boto3-stubs with boto3-stubs-lite:

pip uninstall boto3-stubs
pip install boto3-stubs-lite

Install boto3-stubs[sts] in your environment:

python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

Both type checking and code completion should now work.

<a id="emacs"></a>

Emacs

• Install boto3-stubs with services you use in your environment:

python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

• Install use-package, lsp, company and flycheck packages
• Install lsp-pyright package

(use-package lsp-pyright
  :ensure t
  :hook (python-mode . (lambda ()
                          (require 'lsp-pyright)
                          (lsp)))  ; or lsp-deferred
  :init (when (executable-find "python3")
          (setq lsp-pyright-python-executable-cmd "python3"))
  )

• Make sure emacs uses the environment where you have installed boto3-stubs

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write your boto3 code as usual.

<a id="sublime-text"></a>

Sublime Text

• Install boto3-stubs[sts] with services you use in your environment:

python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

• Install LSP-pyright package

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write your boto3 code as usual.

<a id="other-ides"></a>

Other IDEs

Not tested, but as long as your IDE supports mypy or pyright, everything should work.

<a id="mypy"></a>

mypy

• Install mypy: python -m pip install mypy
• Install boto3-stubs[sts] in your environment:

python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write your boto3 code as usual.

<a id="pyright"></a>

pyright

• Install pyright: npm i -g pyright
• Install boto3-stubs[sts] in your environment:

python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[sts]'

Optionally, you can install boto3-stubs to typings directory.

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write your boto3 code as usual.

<a id="pylint-compatibility"></a>

Pylint compatibility

It is totally safe to use TYPE_CHECKING flag in order to avoid mypy-boto3-sts dependency in production. However, there is an issue in pylint that it complains about undefined variables. To fix it, set all types to object in non-TYPE_CHECKING mode.

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    from mypy_boto3_ec2 import EC2Client, EC2ServiceResource
    from mypy_boto3_ec2.waiters import BundleTaskCompleteWaiter
    from mypy_boto3_ec2.paginators import DescribeVolumesPaginator
else:
    EC2Client = object
    EC2ServiceResource = object
    BundleTaskCompleteWaiter = object
    DescribeVolumesPaginator = object

...

<a id="explicit-type-annotations"></a>

Explicit type annotations

<a id="client-annotations"></a>

Client annotations

STSClient provides annotations for boto3.client("sts").

from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_sts import STSClient

client: STSClient = Session().client("sts")

# now client usage is checked by mypy and IDE should provide code completion

<a id="literals"></a>

Literals

mypy_boto3_sts.literals module contains literals extracted from shapes that can be used in user code for type checking.

Full list of STS Literals can be found in docs.

from mypy_boto3_sts.literals import STSServiceName


def check_value(value: STSServiceName) -> bool: ...

<a id="type-definitions"></a>

Type definitions

mypy_boto3_sts.type_defs module contains structures and shapes assembled to typed dictionaries and unions for additional type checking.

Full list of STS TypeDefs can be found in docs.

# TypedDict usage example
from mypy_boto3_sts.type_defs import PolicyDescriptorTypeTypeDef


def get_value() -> PolicyDescriptorTypeTypeDef:
    return {
        "arn": ...,
    }

<a id="how-it-works"></a>

How it works

Fully automated mypy-boto3-builder carefully generates type annotations for each service, patiently waiting for boto3 updates. It delivers drop-in type annotations for you and makes sure that:

• All available boto3 services are covered.
• Each public class and method of every boto3 service gets valid type annotations extracted from botocore schemas.
• Type annotations include up-to-date documentation.
• Link to documentation is provided for every method.
• Code is processed by ruff for readability.
