It is part of the PyObjC project and allows developers to interact with wireless networks on macOS. The package is a thin binding layer; it does not include its own documentation, so you rely on Apple's CoreWLAN documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use each API.\n\nThe package depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which handle the Objective-C bridge. It is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.15 (including free-threading variants), and is macOS-only\u2014installation will fail on Linux or Windows. It is suitable for macOS system utilities, network diagnostics, or any tool that needs to interact with Wi-Fi from Python.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on or for macOS and need Wi-Fi framework access from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and integrates with the PyObjC ecosystem. The main constraint is platform specificity\u2014it only works on macOS\u2014and the requirement to consult Apple's documentation alongside PyObjC's guides. For macOS-specific Wi-Fi tasks, it is the standard choice."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-corewlan","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corewlan","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-corewlan.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-corewlan/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-CoreWLAN","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework CoreWLAN on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":661231,"position":5452,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
