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.
