It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa to bridge Objective-C APIs into Python, allowing developers to programmatically create, configure, and manage virtual machines without dropping to shell commands or lower-level system calls.\n\nThe wrapper is a thin translation layer\u2014it does not add documentation of its own, so users must consult Apple's official Virtualization framework documentation alongside PyObjC's general bridging patterns. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.15, including free-threading variants), and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to the Virtualization framework. Install friction is moderate (macOS-only, requires specific Python versions), but maintenance is active, the license is permissive, and there are no known vulnerabilities. Not applicable on other operating systems."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-virtualization","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-virtualization","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-virtualization.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-virtualization/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-Virtualization","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework Virtualization on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":653226,"position":5535,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
