Wrappers for the framework SecurityUI on macOS
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building a Python application on macOS that needs to display security-related UI elements. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. Install only if you are on macOS and need SecurityUI specifically; it is not useful on other platforms.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- macOS only; requires Python 3.10 or later and a macOS system with the SecurityUI framework available.
- Low friction installation with a pure-Python wheel.
- Actively maintained as of 3 days ago with recent commits.

What it is and what it does
pyobjc-framework-securityui is a thin wrapper layer that exposes Apple's macOS SecurityUI framework to Python developers. It is part of the larger PyObjC project, which bridges Python and Objective-C on macOS. The wrapper allows you to call SecurityUI classes and methods directly from Python code, but does not include its own documentation—you rely on Apple's native SecurityUI documentation and PyObjC's general translation guides to understand how to use it.
This package is useful when you need to display macOS security-related UI elements—such as keychain item selection dialogs or authentication prompts—from a Python application. It requires macOS and Python 3.10 or later, and depends on three other PyObjC framework packages. The project is actively maintained and has no known vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Display a macOS keychain item picker dialog in a Python application.
- Prompt users for security-related actions using native macOS UI components.
- Integrate macOS security framework features into cross-platform Python tools that run on macOS.
- Build Python-based system utilities that need to interact with macOS security services.
