It is part of the PyObjC project and provides low-level bindings to Objective-C APIs without bundled documentation\u2014users must consult Apple's framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides.\n\nThe package is macOS-only and requires Python 3.10 or later. It depends on pyobjc-core and three other PyObjC framework wrappers (Cocoa, Quartz, CoreMedia). Installation is straightforward on supported macOS versions, but the platform restriction and compiled-wheel distribution mean it will not work on Linux or Windows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need direct access to VideoToolbox's video encoding/decoding capabilities. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers a permissive license. Install friction is medium due to platform specificity and multiple framework dependencies, but this is unavoidable for native Objective-C bindings. Not suitable for cross-platform projects."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-videotoolbox","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-videotoolbox","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-videotoolbox.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-videotoolbox/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-VideoToolbox","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework VideoToolbox on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":655803,"position":5508,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
