# pyobjc-framework-DVDPlayback — Wrappers for the framework DVDPlayback on macOS

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 655.6K/mo

## 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.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides Python bindings to macOS's DVDPlayback framework, enabling programmatic control of DVD playback on macOS systems through PyObjC.

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.

## Install

pip install pyobjc-framework-dvdplayback
uv add pyobjc-framework-dvdplayback
poetry add pyobjc-framework-dvdplayback

## Installing pyobjc-framework-DVDPlayback

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Actively maintained as of 3 days ago with recent commits and no known vulnerabilities. Depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which are standard PyObjC infrastructure.

License in practice: MIT license permits use in proprietary and open-source projects with minimal restrictions—include a copy of the license and you're clear.

Quickstart:

pip install pyobjc-framework-dvdplayback

from DVDPlayback import DVDPlaybackController
# Use DVDPlayback framework classes via PyObjC bindings

macOS only; requires Python 3.10 or later and a macOS system with the DVDPlayback framework available.

Verify before relying:

- Whether DVD playback hardware or drivers are required on the target macOS system.
- Compatibility with modern macOS versions beyond the classifiers listed (3.10–3.15).
- Whether this package is actively used or if DVDPlayback framework itself is deprecated on current macOS.
