Carbon is a legacy macOS framework; this wrapper translates between Python and Objective-C, enabling interop with Carbon code or systems that still depend on it.\n\nThe package is part of the larger PyObjC project and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa. It requires Python 3.10 or later and runs on CPython. Documentation is minimal in the wrapper itself; users are directed to Apple's Carbon documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use the underlying APIs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on macOS and need to call Carbon APIs from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs easily, and carries a permissive license. However, Carbon is a legacy framework; confirm that your use case genuinely requires it rather than a modern macOS API before adding the dependency."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-carbon","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-carbon","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-carbon.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-carbon/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-Carbon","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework Carbon on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":538038,"position":6115,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
