pyobjc-framework-FileProviderUI
Wrappers for the framework FileProviderUI on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to use the FileProviderUI framework from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and carries a permissive MIT license. However, it is only useful on macOS and requires Python 3.10+; you will need to consult Apple's documentation separately since this package provides bindings only, not documentation.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires macOS and Python 3.10 or later; framework is macOS-specific and will not function on other operating systems.
- Low friction installation with active maintenance—released 3 days ago with recent commits.
- Depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-FileProvider, both part of the same ecosystem.

What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's FileProviderUI framework for use in Python via PyObjC, allowing developers to interact with macOS file provider user interface APIs. It is a thin binding layer that translates Objective-C framework calls into Python, part of the broader PyObjC project that bridges macOS frameworks to Python.
The package provides no independent documentation—users must consult Apple's official FileProviderUI documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use the framework. It is maintained as part of the active PyObjC ecosystem and supports modern Python versions from 3.10 through 3.15, including free-threading support.
Use it for
- Build macOS file provider extensions that need to present custom UI elements to users.
- Integrate file provider functionality into Python applications running on macOS.
- Access FileProviderUI framework capabilities from Python without writing Objective-C code.
- Develop file system integration tools for macOS that require UI components from the file provider framework.
