It wraps CoreGraphics (2D graphics based on PDF model), ImageIO (image reading/writing), QuartzCore (image processing and video manipulation), PDFKit (PDF file handling), and several other graphics-related frameworks. The package lets you call these native APIs directly from Python code, enabling graphics, image, and video operations that would otherwise require Objective-C or Swift.\n\nThe package depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, and is macOS-only with wheels built for Python 3.10 through 3.15. It is actively maintained and production-stable, though the documentation relies on Apple's native framework docs and PyObjC's translation guides rather than Python-specific API reference.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need direct access to native Quartz graphics APIs from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and covers a broad set of graphics frameworks. Install friction is moderate due to macOS-only wheels and two runtime dependencies, but this is expected for PyObjC bindings. Not applicable on other operating systems."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-quartz","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-quartz","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-quartz.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-quartz/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-Quartz","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the Quartz frameworks on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2492474,"position":3039,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
