pyobjc-framework-DiscRecording

What it is and what it does

This package wraps Apple's DiscRecording framework, a macOS system framework for controlling disc burning and media recording hardware. It allows Python developers to programmatically burn DVDs, CDs, and other optical media on macOS by calling Objective-C framework methods from Python code.

The package is part of the larger PyObjC project and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa to translate between Python and Objective-C. It does not include its own documentation; users must consult Apple's DiscRecording documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use the framework. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.15, and is distributed as pre-built wheels for macOS.

Use it for:

• Automate DVD or CD burning workflows in macOS applications without user interaction.
• Build command-line tools for batch media recording on macOS systems.
• Integrate disc recording capabilities into Python-based media management software.
• Control optical media hardware programmatically in macOS system utilities.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides Python bindings to Apple's DiscRecording framework on macOS, enabling programmatic control of disc burning and media recording operations.

Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to control disc recording hardware from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and supports current Python versions. Install only if you are on macOS; it is not portable to other operating systems.

Install

Installing pyobjc-framework-DiscRecording

Before you install

Medium friction: requires macOS and a compatible Python version (3.10+). Distributed as pre-built wheels for recent Python versions (3.10–3.15) and macOS versions (10.9–10.15 depending on Python version). Actively maintained with a recent release.

License in practice

MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for commercial and open-source projects alike.

Quickstart

pip install pyobjc-framework-discrecording

from DiscRecording import DRBurn
# Access DiscRecording framework classes via the imported module

macOS only; requires Python 3.10 or later and the Cocoa framework (installed as a runtime dependency).

Verify before relying

• Whether the package includes type hints or stubs for IDE autocomplete support.
• Level of API coverage compared to the full DiscRecording framework.
• Performance characteristics when burning large media files.
