Wrappers for the framework MediaLibrary on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to the MediaLibrary framework. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install friction is low. The main constraint is that it only works on macOS and requires Python 3.10 or later; you will also need to consult Apple's documentation to understand the underlying framework APIs.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires macOS 10.9 or later and Python 3.10+; only runs on macOS.
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained as part of the PyObjC project, with a recent release and ongoing repository activity.

What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's MediaLibrary framework for use in Python on macOS. It is part of the larger PyObjC project, which bridges Objective-C and Python, allowing developers to call native macOS frameworks directly from Python code. The MediaLibrary framework provides access to media library functionality on macOS systems running 10.9 or later.
To use this package, you import the framework bindings and call the underlying Objective-C methods through Python. The package itself does not include documentation; instead, you reference Apple's official MediaLibrary documentation alongside PyObjC's general translation guidelines. It requires pyobjc-core and two other PyObjC framework packages (Cocoa and Quartz) as runtime dependencies, and it supports Python 3.10 through 3.15.
Use it for
- Access media library metadata and content from a Python application running on macOS.
- Build macOS desktop tools that need to query or interact with the system's media library.
- Integrate media library functionality into cross-framework PyObjC applications.
- Automate media-related tasks on macOS by calling native framework methods from Python.
