pyobjc-framework-MediaAccessibility

What it is and what it does

This package wraps the macOS MediaAccessibility framework for use in Python via PyObjC. It allows Python developers on macOS to access native media accessibility APIs introduced in macOS 10.9, such as features for captioning, audio descriptions, and other accessibility options. The wrapper is part of the larger PyObjC project and provides direct bindings to Objective-C framework classes.

The package itself does not include standalone documentation; instead, it relies on Apple's official MediaAccessibility framework documentation combined with PyObjC's general documentation for guidance on translating between Python and Objective-C. It requires pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa as dependencies and is actively maintained, supporting Python 3.10 through 3.15.

Use it for:

• Build macOS applications that need to query or configure media accessibility settings like closed captions.
• Integrate Python scripts with native macOS media accessibility features for automated testing or configuration.
• Develop accessibility-aware media players or tools that respect system-level accessibility preferences on macOS.
