It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa to bridge between Python and Objective-C, and runs only on macOS with Python 3.10 or later.\n\nThe package itself provides no high-level documentation\u2014you work directly with the CoreSpotlight API as exposed through PyObjC's translation layer, consulting Apple's framework documentation and PyObjC's general guidance on Python-to-Objective-C mapping. It is useful for macOS applications that need to index content for Spotlight search or query indexed metadata.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a macOS application in Python that needs to integrate with Spotlight search or access CoreSpotlight APIs. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and compiled dependencies, but that is inherent to the task. Not applicable on non-macOS platforms."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-corespotlight","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corespotlight","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corespotlight.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-corespotlight/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-CoreSpotlight","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework CoreSpotlight on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":657645,"position":5475,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
