Typing stubs for PyInstaller, providing type hints for PyInstaller modules. Version 6.19.0.20260408, updated regularly alongside typeshed releases.

pip install types-pyinstaller

Common errors

error Cannot find reference 'Analysis' in 'PyInstaller.building.api' ↓

cause IDE cannot resolve due to missing stubs or incorrect PyInstaller version.

fix

Install correct version: pip install types-pyinstaller==6.19.0.20260408 matching your PyInstaller 6.19.

error Import 'PyInstaller.__main__' could not be resolved ↓

cause Stubs not installed or Python interpreter not recognizing them.

fix

Run pip install types-pyinstaller and ensure your IDE uses the correct interpreter.

gotcha Stubs may not cover all PyInstaller internals due to dynamic code. Rely on official PyInstaller docs for runtime behavior. ↓

fix Cross-reference with PyInstaller source; stubs are best-effort.

gotcha Do not install both `types-pyinstaller` and `pyinstaller-stubs` (or any other third-party stubs). Only one should be used. ↓

fix Uninstall conflicting packages: `pip uninstall pyinstaller-stubs`.

gotcha Stubs are often behind PyInstaller releases. Check version compatibility: types-pyinstaller version x.y.z corresponds to PyInstaller x.y. ↓

fix Match major.minor versions: e.g., use types-pyinstaller==6.* for PyInstaller 6.x.
