It is part of the larger PyObjC project, which bridges Objective-C and Python; this particular wrapper focuses on the Photos-specific APIs.\n\nThe package is a thin binding layer\u2014it does not include its own documentation, instead directing users to Apple's official framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides. It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa to function, and is strictly macOS-only, supporting Python 3.10 through 3.15 with free-threading support on 3.13+.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need direct access to the Photos framework from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install friction is moderate due to platform and Python version constraints, but these are inherent to the use case rather than signs of poor maintenance."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-photos","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-photos","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-photos.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-photos/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-Photos","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework Photos on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":674946,"position":5387,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
