Wrappers for the framework PushKit on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need PushKit integration from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and dependencies, but unavoidable for this use case. Not applicable on non-macOS systems.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS 10.15 or later required; Python 3.10+ required; only runs on macOS (universal2 wheels for Intel and Apple Silicon).
- Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (macOS only, multiple Python versions) and two runtime dependencies on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa.
- Actively maintained with a release 3 days old and recent commits.

What it is and what it does
This package wraps Apple's PushKit framework, making it accessible from Python code running on macOS. PushKit handles remote push notifications for apps, and this wrapper bridges the gap between Python and the native Objective-C framework by translating Python calls into framework method invocations. It depends on pyobjc-core (the PyObjC runtime) and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa (the Cocoa framework bindings) to function.
The package is a thin binding layer with no bundled documentation of its own—users must consult Apple's official PushKit documentation alongside PyObjC's general translation guidelines to understand how to use it. It targets developers building macOS applications in Python that need to integrate with Apple's push notification infrastructure.
Use it for
- Build a macOS app in Python that receives remote push notifications via PushKit.
- Integrate Python-based macOS services with Apple's notification delivery system.
- Automate notification handling on macOS by calling PushKit from Python code.
- Prototype or test PushKit functionality without writing Objective-C directly.
