# pyobjc-framework-AppleScriptObjC — Wrappers for the framework AppleScriptObjC on macOS

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 670.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package wraps Apple's AppleScriptObjC framework, which is available on macOS 10.6 and later. It allows Python developers to access AppleScript functionality through Objective-C bindings, primarily for use within AppleScript-based application bundles. The package is part of the larger PyObjC project and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa for its core functionality.

The framework is specialized and not intended for general-purpose use—it's designed for developers building AppleScript applications that need Python integration or for Python code that needs to interact with AppleScript-based macOS applications. The package provides raw Objective-C bindings without additional documentation, so users must refer to Apple's framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use it.

Use it for:

- Extend AppleScript-based macOS application bundles with Python code for additional functionality.
- Call AppleScript functionality from Python when building macOS automation scripts that need AppleScript integration.
- Integrate Python with existing AppleScript workflows in macOS environments.
- Access AppleScriptObjC framework features from Python for specialized macOS application development.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides Python bindings to Apple's AppleScriptObjC framework, enabling Python code to interact with AppleScript-based macOS application bundles through Objective-C.

Yes, if you are developing AppleScript-based macOS applications or need to integrate Python with AppleScript workflows. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. However, it is a specialized tool with limited applicability—install only if you specifically need AppleScript integration on macOS.

## Install

pip install pyobjc-framework-applescriptobjc
uv add pyobjc-framework-applescriptobjc
poetry add pyobjc-framework-applescriptobjc

## Installing pyobjc-framework-AppleScriptObjC

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Actively maintained with a release 3 days ago and recent repository activity. Requires pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa as runtime dependencies.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install pyobjc-framework-applescriptobjc

import AppleScriptObjC
# Access AppleScriptObjC framework functionality through PyObjC bindings

macOS 10.6 or later required; Python 3.10 or later required; depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa.

Verify before relying:

- Whether this framework is useful outside AppleScript-based application bundles, as the description suggests limited applicability for most users.
- Specific macOS version requirements beyond the general macOS X classifier.
- Whether Python 3.10+ is a hard requirement or if earlier versions are supported despite the classifier.
