pip install botostubs

Common errors

error 'botostubs' has no attribute 'client' ↓

cause Import botostubs does not replace boto3's client/resource; it only adds stubs when imported alongside boto3.

fix

Ensure you import boto3 as well: import boto3; import botostubs

error RuntimeError: botostubs stubs not compatible with installed boto3 version ↓

cause Mismatch between botostubs and boto3 versions.

fix

Upgrade/downgrade botostubs to match your boto3 version: pip install botostubs==<boto3_version>

Warnings

gotcha Stubs are generated for the boto3 version that matches the botostubs version. Using a mismatched boto3 version may cause incomplete or inaccurate stubs. ↓

fix Ensure botostubs version corresponds to your installed boto3 version. Check botostubs version on PyPI vs boto3.

deprecated The library versioning scheme changed; older versions (e.g., 0.14.x) may not generate stubs for newer boto3 services. ↓

fix Upgrade to the latest botostubs that matches your boto3 version.
