It allows developers to call Security framework functions directly from Python without writing Objective-C, bridging the gap between Python and macOS's built-in cryptographic, certificate, and keychain management capabilities.\n\nThe package is part of the larger PyObjC project and provides no independent documentation\u2014users must consult Apple's Security framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use each wrapped API. It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa and runs only on macOS, making it a platform-specific tool for developers who need direct access to native security APIs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need direct access to native Security framework APIs from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. However, it is macOS-only and requires familiarity with both PyObjC's translation model and Apple's Security framework documentation, making it suitable only for developers with those specific needs."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-security","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-security","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-security.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-security/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-Security","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework Security on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":995825,"position":4548,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
