{"id":3113,"library":"mypy-boto3-mediatailor","title":"mypy-boto3-mediatailor: Type Annotations for AWS MediaTailor","description":"mypy-boto3-mediatailor provides PEP 561 compliant type annotations for the AWS MediaTailor service client in `boto3`. It enhances development with static type checking for `boto3` interactions, helping catch errors before runtime. This package is currently at version 1.42.84 and is part of the `mypy-boto3-builder` ecosystem, which follows a frequent release cadence, often synchronised with `boto3` updates.","status":"active","version":"1.42.84","language":"en","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/youtype/mypy_boto3_builder","tags":["aws","boto3","type-hints","mypy","mediatailor","stubs","static-analysis"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install mypy-boto3-mediatailor","lang":"bash","label":"Install service-specific stubs"},{"cmd":"pip install boto3-stubs[mediatailor]","lang":"bash","label":"Install using boto3-stubs (recommended for multiple services)"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Required at runtime for the code that uses these type hints.
