# pyobjc-framework-SafetyKit — Wrappers for the framework SafetyKit on macOS

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 634.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

pyobjc-framework-safetykit is a thin wrapper layer that exposes Apple's SafetyKit framework to Python developers on macOS. It is part of the larger PyObjC project, which bridges Objective-C frameworks to Python. The package itself does not include its own documentation; instead, it relies on Apple's official SafetyKit documentation and PyObjC's general translation guidelines to explain how to use the underlying framework from Python code.

This package is most useful for macOS developers who need to integrate SafetyKit functionality into Python applications—for example, to access safety-related device or location features. It requires three runtime dependencies (pyobjc-core, pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, and pyobjc-framework-Quartz) and is actively maintained with support for modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.15). Installation is straightforward on macOS, but the package is not available on other platforms.

Use it for:

- Integrate SafetyKit safety features into a macOS desktop application written in Python.
- Access device or location safety APIs from a Python script running on macOS.
- Build a cross-framework macOS app that combines SafetyKit with other Cocoa or Quartz features via PyObjC.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides Python bindings to macOS's SafetyKit framework, enabling access to safety-related APIs through PyObjC.

Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need SafetyKit functionality in Python. The package is actively maintained, production-stable, MIT-licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and framework dependencies, but that is inherent to the use case. Not applicable on non-macOS platforms.

## Install

pip install pyobjc-framework-safetykit
uv add pyobjc-framework-safetykit
poetry add pyobjc-framework-safetykit

## Installing pyobjc-framework-SafetyKit

Before you install: Medium install friction: platform-specific wheels for macOS only (Python 3.10–3.15), with three PyObjC framework dependencies. Active maintenance (last commit 2026-08-14, release 3 days old) and production-stable status.

License in practice: MIT license is permissive; you can use, modify, and distribute this package with minimal legal restriction.

Quickstart:

pip install pyobjc-framework-safetykit
import SafetyKit
# Access SafetyKit framework APIs through the imported module

macOS only; requires Python 3.10 or later and a compatible macOS version matching the wheel (10.9 or 10.13+).

Verify before relying:

- What specific SafetyKit APIs are exposed and which macOS versions fully support them.
- Whether this package requires additional system frameworks or permissions beyond SafetyKit itself.
