It lets you read and manipulate contact information programmatically through Python code that calls into the underlying Objective-C framework. The package is part of the larger PyObjC project and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa to bridge between Python and Objective-C.\n\nBecause it is a thin wrapper around the native framework, it does not include its own documentation\u2014you rely on Apple's AddressBook documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use it. The package is production-stable and actively maintained, with wheels built for Python 3.10 through 3.15 on macOS.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to the system address book. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and compiled dependencies, but that is unavoidable for framework bindings. Not applicable on non-macOS systems."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-addressbook","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-addressbook","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-addressbook.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-addressbook/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-AddressBook","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework AddressBook on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":664232,"position":5432,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
