It helps developers write type-safe Python code that interacts with StorageGateway by providing static type hints for clients, resources, and data structures. The library is generated by `mypy-boto3-builder` and is updated frequently, often daily or weekly, to keep pace with new `boto3` releases and AWS API changes, ensuring up-to-date type definitions.","status":"active","version":"1.42.3","language":"en","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/youtype/mypy_boto3_builder","tags":["aws","boto3","mypy","type-hints","stubs","cloud","storagegateway","static-analysis"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install mypy-boto3-storagegateway","lang":"bash","label":"Install service-specific stubs"},{"cmd":"pip install boto3-stubs[storagegateway]","lang":"bash","label":"Install with boto3-stubs meta-package"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Required at runtime for interacting with AWS services; these are type stubs for boto3.","package":"boto3"},{"reason":"Required for static type checking to utilize these stubs.","package":"mypy","optional":true}],"imports":[{"symbol":"StorageGatewayClient","correct":"from mypy_boto3_storagegateway.client import StorageGatewayClient"},{"note":"Common alias for StorageGatewayClient","symbol":"Client","correct":"from mypy_boto3_storagegateway import Client"},{"note":"Example of a specific type definition for a method's output","symbol":"ListGatewaysOutputTypeDef","correct":"from mypy_boto3_storagegateway.type_defs import ListGatewaysOutputTypeDef"}],"quickstart":{"code":"import boto3\nfrom mypy_boto3_storagegateway import StorageGatewayClient\nfrom mypy_boto3_storagegateway.type_defs import ListGatewaysOutputTypeDef\n\ndef get_storagegateway_client() -> StorageGatewayClient:\n    \"\"\"Returns a typed StorageGateway client.\"\"\"\n    # boto3.client will automatically pick up the type hints\n    # if mypy-boto3-storagegateway is installed.\n    return boto3.client(\"storagegateway\")\n\n# Get a type-hinted StorageGateway client\nclient: StorageGatewayClient = get_storagegateway_client()\n\ntry:\n    # Use the client with type-hinted response\n    response: ListGatewaysOutputTypeDef = client.list_gateways(Limit=10)\n    \n    gateway_names = [g['GatewayARN'] for g in response.get('GatewayInfos', [])]\n    if gateway_names:\n        print(f\"Found gateways: {', '.join(gateway_names)}\")\n    else:\n        print(\"No gateways found.\")\n\nexcept Exception as e:\n    print(f\"An error occurred: {e}\")\n\n# For authentication, ensure AWS credentials are configured (e.g., via environment variables, ~/.aws/credentials, or IAM roles)\n# This quickstart assumes default credential setup.","lang":"python","description":"Demonstrates how to obtain a type-hinted StorageGateway client using `boto3` and leverage the provided stubs for static analysis, including type-hinted method calls and response objects.
