It lets you access dictionary definitions, spelling suggestions, and related linguistic services that macOS provides at the system level, directly from Python code.\n\nThe package is part of the larger PyObjC project, which provides Python bindings to Objective-C frameworks on macOS. It requires pyobjc-core (the bridge itself) and pyobjc-framework-CoreServices as dependencies. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.15, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a macOS application in Python and need access to system dictionary or spelling services. The package is actively maintained, has no security issues, uses a permissive license, and installs with low friction. It is only useful on macOS and requires Python 3.10 or later."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-dictionaryservices","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-dictionaryservices","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-dictionaryservices.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-dictionaryservices/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-DictionaryServices","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework DictionaryServices on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":621334,"position":5717,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
