It allows developers to write custom screensaver modules that integrate directly with macOS's screensaver system, rather than building screensavers from scratch using lower-level APIs.\n\nThe package is part of the larger PyObjC project and provides thin bindings to the underlying Objective-C framework. It has no built-in documentation of its own; users must consult Apple's official ScreenSaver framework documentation and PyObjC's general documentation to understand how to translate Objective-C patterns into Python code. The package depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, and is actively maintained with support for Python 3.10 through 3.15.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing a custom screensaver for macOS and prefer to work in Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and native compilation, but this is unavoidable for macOS framework bindings. Not applicable for non-macOS development."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-screensaver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-screensaver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-screensaver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-screensaver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-ScreenSaver","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework ScreenSaver on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":661962,"position":5442,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
