It is part of the PyObjC project and provides direct access to the native framework's APIs through Python bindings. The wrapper does not include its own documentation; users must refer to Apple's InputMethodKit documentation combined with PyObjC's general translation guidance to understand how to use the framework.\n\nThe package is macOS-only and requires Python 3.10 or later. It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which handle the underlying Objective-C bridge. Installation is straightforward on supported macOS versions via pre-built wheels, though it will not work on Linux or Windows systems.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing input methods on macOS and need Python bindings to InputMethodKit. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and supports current Python versions. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity, but pre-built wheels mitigate compilation overhead. Not applicable for non-macOS development."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-inputmethodkit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-inputmethodkit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-inputmethodkit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-inputmethodkit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-InputMethodKit","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework InputMethodKit on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":626367,"position":5689,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
