Auto-generated documentation for DynamoDB type annotations stubs module mypy-boto3-dynamodb.

How to install#

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==1.35.86' mypy_boto3_builder
  2. Select boto3-stubs AWS SDK.
  3. Add DynamoDB service.
  4. Use provided commands to install generated packages.

VSCode extension#

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

Click Modify and select boto3 common and DynamoDB.

From PyPI with pip#

Install boto3-stubs for DynamoDB service.

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

# 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[dynamodb]'

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

From conda-forge#
