mypy-boto3-medialive Type Annotations

1.42.86 · active · verified Sat Apr 11

This library provides type annotations (stubs) for the `boto3` MediaLive client, allowing static type checkers like MyPy to validate usage of `boto3`. It is currently at version 1.42.86 and receives frequent updates, often aligning with `boto3`/`botocore` releases and `mypy-boto3-builder` updates, which is the underlying generation tool.

Warnings

deprecated The `mypy-boto3-*` package naming scheme is considered legacy and deprecated by the maintainers. It is highly recommended to migrate to the `boto3-stubs-*` equivalent packages (e.g., `boto3-stubs-medialive`) for future updates and better feature support.
Fix: Uninstall `mypy-boto3-medialive` and install `boto3-stubs-medialive` instead: `pip uninstall mypy-boto3-medialive && pip install boto3-stubs-medialive`.
breaking Support for Python 3.8 was removed in `mypy-boto3-builder` version 8.12.0. Packages generated with this builder, including `mypy-boto3-medialive` 1.42.86 and newer, will no longer support Python 3.8.
Fix: Upgrade your Python environment to 3.9 or higher. If you must use Python 3.8, you will need to pin to an older version of `mypy-boto3-medialive` (e.g., <1.42.86).
gotcha This library provides type *stubs* only; it does not replace or include the actual `boto3` runtime library. You must install `boto3` separately for your code to function at runtime.
Fix: Ensure `boto3` is installed in your environment: `pip install boto3`.
breaking Type definition naming conventions changed in `mypy-boto3-builder` version 8.9.0. This caused potential breaking changes in TypeDef names for all generated services. For instance, `CreateDistributionRequestRequestTypeDef` might have been shortened to `CreateDistributionRequestTypeDef`, or `Extra` postfixes moved.
Fix: Review your code for any custom TypeDef imports or direct references that might have been affected by the naming change and update them accordingly. Refer to the specific service's type_defs module.

Install

pip install mypy-boto3-medialive Install library

Imports

MediaLiveClient
```
from mypy_boto3_medialive import MediaLiveClient
```
The stubs are in their own package, not directly within the boto3 namespace.
BatchUpdateScheduleRequestRequestTypeDef
```
from mypy_boto3_medialive.type_defs import BatchUpdateScheduleRequestRequestTypeDef
```
Type definitions for service requests/responses are typically found in the `type_defs` submodule.

Quickstart

This quickstart demonstrates how to create a `boto3` MediaLive client and apply the `mypy-boto3-medialive` type annotation for improved static analysis. It assumes `boto3` is already installed and configured.

import boto3
from mypy_boto3_medialive import MediaLiveClient

def get_medialive_client() -> MediaLiveClient:
    """Returns a typed MediaLive client."""
    # Boto3 client creation remains the same, but now with type hints
    client: MediaLiveClient = boto3.client("medialive")
    return client

# Example usage with type checking
medialive_client = get_medialive_client()
response = medialive_client.list_channels()
print(f"MediaLive channels: {len(response.get('Channels', []))}")
