It sits atop PyObjC's bridge layer and requires understanding of both the underlying Objective-C framework and PyObjC's translation conventions.\n\nThe package is actively maintained and supports Python 3.10 through 3.15, with wheels built for multiple architectures. It has no known security vulnerabilities and carries a permissive MIT license. Installation requires macOS and the compiled dependencies pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa; the package itself does not include documentation beyond references to Apple's official GameController documentation.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to game controller input. The package is actively maintained, carries no security issues, and has 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-gamecontroller","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-gamecontroller","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-gamecontroller.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-gamecontroller/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-GameController","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework GameController on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":656781,"position":5485,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
