pyobjc-framework-DiskArbitration
Wrappers for the framework DiskArbitration on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to disk and volume management. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is low. However, it is macOS-only and requires Python 3.10+, and you will need to consult Apple's framework documentation directly since this package provides only bindings, not its own user guide.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS operating system required; Python 3.10 or later; pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa must be installed as runtime dependencies.
- Low friction install with a pure-wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained as of 3 days ago with recent commits.

Verify before relying
pip install pyobjc-framework-diskarbitration
import DiskArbitration

- Whether real-world usage examples or tutorials exist beyond Apple's official documentation.
What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's DiskArbitration framework for use from Python, allowing macOS developers to interact with disk and volume management at a system level. It is part of the larger PyObjC project and translates Objective-C framework calls into Python-friendly interfaces.
The package itself provides no standalone documentation—it relies on Apple's official DiskArbitration documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides. It requires Python 3.10 or later and macOS as the operating system. The two runtime dependencies (pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa) handle the underlying bridge between Python and the Cocoa/Objective-C runtime.
Use it for
- Monitor disk mount and unmount events on macOS systems programmatically.
- Query volume properties and disk status information from Python applications.
- Build system utilities or administrative tools that need to interact with macOS storage.
- Integrate disk management operations into cross-platform Python applications running on macOS.
