Known issues

breakingRemoved support for Python 3.8 in version 8.12.0

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.9 or later

affects: 8.12.0 and later

gotchaDynamic class generation in boto3 can lead to unexpected type results

fix

Use mypy-boto3-sqs for accurate type annotations

affects: All versions

breakingInstalling boto3-stubs or mypy-boto3-* packages without the actual boto3 library will lead to ModuleNotFoundError for 'boto3' or 'botocore' at runtime, as these are type stub packages and not replacements for the underlying libraries.

fix

Install the 'boto3' library alongside the stub packages. For example, 'pip install boto3 boto3-stubs[sqs]'.
