What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's KernelManagement framework for use in Python, allowing developers to interact with macOS kernel management APIs from Python code. It is part of the PyObjC project, which provides bindings between Python and Objective-C frameworks on macOS. The wrapper translates between Python and the underlying Objective-C framework, but does not include its own documentation—users must consult Apple's framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guidelines.
The package targets modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.15) and is actively maintained. It depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, which handle the core bridging infrastructure. Installation is straightforward on macOS systems, but the package is only usable on that platform.
Use it for
- Develop macOS system utilities that need to interact with kernel management APIs from Python
- Build monitoring or diagnostic tools that require low-level kernel access on macOS
- Create automation scripts for macOS system administration involving kernel-level operations
