What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's ColorSync framework for use in Python, allowing macOS applications to access color management and color space conversion capabilities. It is part of the PyObjC project, which provides a bridge between Python and Objective-C frameworks on macOS. The wrapper does not include its own documentation; instead, users are directed to Apple's ColorSync documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to call the underlying framework methods from Python.
The package is most useful for developers building macOS applications that need to work with color profiles, color spaces, or color synchronization features. It requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which handle the core Objective-C interop. The package is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions including 3.15.
Use it for
- Build macOS color management tools that read or write color profiles and ICC data.
- Integrate color space conversion into Python-based image processing pipelines on macOS.
- Develop macOS GUI applications using Cocoa that need native color synchronization.
- Query system color profiles and color space information from Python on macOS.
