pyobjc-framework-Collaboration
Wrappers for the framework Collaboration on macOS
What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's Collaboration framework for use from Python, allowing developers to interact with user identities and identity-selection UI on macOS. It is part of the broader PyObjC project, which provides Python bindings to macOS frameworks by translating Objective-C APIs into Python-friendly interfaces.
The package itself does not include documentation beyond what Apple provides for the underlying framework; users must refer to Apple's Collaboration framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guidelines to understand how to use the exposed classes and methods. It is intended for macOS application developers who need programmatic access to identity management features from Python code.
Use it for:
- Build macOS applications that need to query or manage user identities programmatically
- Create identity-selection dialogs or UI elements in Python-based macOS apps
- Integrate identity management into cross-framework macOS applications using PyObjC
Worth the install?
AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Provides Python bindings to the macOS Collaboration framework, enabling access to user identities and identity selection UI elements from Python code running on macOS 10.5 or later.
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to access the Collaboration framework from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and installs with low friction. Not applicable on non-macOS systems.
Install
pyobjc-framework-collaboration on PyPI
pip
pip install pyobjc-framework-collaborationuv
uv add pyobjc-framework-collaborationpoetry
poetry add pyobjc-framework-collaborationInstalling pyobjc-framework-Collaboration
Before you install
Low install friction; wheel-based distribution. Active maintenance with recent releases and a stable codebase. 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 this suitable for both open-source and proprietary projects.
Quickstart
pip install pyobjc-framework-collaboration
from Collaboration import CBIdentity
# Access Collaboration framework classes and methods
macOS 10.5 or later required; Python 3.10+ required; only functional on macOS systems.
Verify before relying
- Specific Collaboration framework capabilities exposed by this wrapper version
- Whether identity selection UI elements are fully functional across all supported macOS versions
