What it is and what it does
This package is a thin Python wrapper around macOS's native NaturalLanguage framework, part of the broader PyObjC project that bridges Objective-C and Python. It allows Python developers on macOS to call Apple's built-in text processing and language analysis tools directly, without reimplementing those capabilities in Python or depending on third-party NLP libraries.
The package provides no standalone documentation—instead, users must consult Apple's official NaturalLanguage framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use it. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.15), and carries no known security vulnerabilities. Installation is straightforward on macOS, though the package is useless outside that ecosystem.
Use it for
- Detect the language of user-supplied text using Apple's native language identification on macOS.
- Tokenize or analyze text using macOS's built-in linguistic tools from a Python application.
- Build a macOS-native text processing pipeline that leverages the NaturalLanguage framework without external dependencies.
- Integrate Apple's language analysis into a PyObjC-based macOS desktop application.
- Access NaturalLanguage capabilities from Python when building tools that must run on macOS only.
