It lets you work with macOS's native type system\u2014identifying file types, querying type properties, and handling uniform type descriptors\u2014directly from Python code. The wrapper translates between Python and Objective-C, so you call the framework's methods as if they were Python functions, but you'll need to consult Apple's official documentation to understand what each method does, since the wrapper itself provides only the bridge, not the documentation.\n\nYou'll use this when building macOS applications that need to identify or work with file types at the system level, or when integrating with other Cocoa frameworks that depend on UniformTypeIdentifiers. It requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which handle the core Objective-C interop.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a macOS application in Python and need to work with the native UniformTypeIdentifiers framework. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. However, it is only useful on macOS and requires Python 3.10+; it is not a general-purpose library for cross-platform type identification."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-uniformtypeidentifiers","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-uniformtypeidentifiers","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-uniformtypeidentifiers.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-uniformtypeidentifiers/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-UniformTypeIdentifiers","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework UniformTypeIdentifiers on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":951167,"position":4657,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
