It sits on top of PyObjC, which handles the translation between Python and Objective-C, and requires both pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa as runtime dependencies.\n\nThe package provides direct access to CoreBluetooth's APIs for discovering Bluetooth devices, establishing connections, reading and writing characteristics, and handling peripheral events. Since it is a thin wrapper rather than a high-level abstraction, developers must understand both the CoreBluetooth framework itself and PyObjC's conventions for working with Objective-C objects. The package is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions including free-threading builds, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need Bluetooth functionality from Python. The active maintenance, broad Python version support, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and compiled dependencies, but this is unavoidable for framework bindings. Not applicable outside macOS."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-corebluetooth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corebluetooth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corebluetooth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-corebluetooth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-CoreBluetooth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework CoreBluetooth on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":854808,"position":4892,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
