It is part of the PyObjC project and provides direct access to Objective-C APIs through Python, enabling developers to build location-aware features on macOS without writing Objective-C directly.\n\nThe package depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which handle the Python-to-Objective-C translation layer. It is macOS-only and requires Python 3.10 or later. The project is actively maintained and supports current Python versions through 3.15, including free-threading variants.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a macOS application that needs geolocation features. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers a clean Python interface to a native macOS capability. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and compiled dependencies, but this is unavoidable for macOS framework bindings. Not applicable for non-macOS development."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-corelocation","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corelocation","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corelocation.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-corelocation/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-CoreLocation","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework CoreLocation on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":703115,"position":5282,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
