Wrappers for the framework DVDPlayback on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to control DVD playback from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. The main caveat is that you must be comfortable reading Apple's DVDPlayback documentation and understanding PyObjC's Objective-C-to-Python translation model—this is a thin wrapper, not a high-level abstraction.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS only; requires Python 3.10 or later and a macOS system with the DVDPlayback framework available.
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained as of 3 days ago with recent commits and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This package is a thin PyObjC wrapper around Apple's DVDPlayback framework, allowing Python code running on macOS to interact with DVD playback functionality at the system level. It does not provide its own implementation or documentation—instead, it translates between Python and Objective-C, exposing the underlying framework's classes and methods so you can call them from Python.
You would use this when you need to programmatically control DVD playback on a macOS machine from Python code. The package itself is stable and actively maintained, but you'll need to consult Apple's DVDPlayback documentation and PyObjC's translation guides to understand how to use the framework's APIs. It requires macOS, Python 3.10 or later, and depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa.
Use it for
- Build a macOS application that controls DVD playback programmatically from Python.
- Automate DVD playback tasks in a macOS system utility or daemon.
- Integrate DVD playback control into a larger PyObjC-based macOS GUI application.
- Test or script DVD playback behavior on macOS for quality assurance or automation.
