Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need to access the SharedWithYou framework from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity, but wheels are pre-built for all supported Python versions. Not applicable on non-macOS systems.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 compatible macOS system with the SharedWithYou framework available
- Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (macOS only, multiple Python versions).
- Active maintenance with a recent release (3 days old) and steady repository activity.

What it is and what it does
pyobjc-framework-sharedwithyou is a thin wrapper layer that exposes Apple's macOS SharedWithYou framework to Python developers through PyObjC. It allows Python code running on macOS to interact with shared content and collaboration features provided by the operating system, bridging the gap between Objective-C APIs and Python.
The package does not include its own documentation; instead, it relies on Apple's official framework documentation and PyObjC's general translation guidelines. It is a production-stable binding maintained as part of the larger PyObjC project, with wheels pre-built for multiple Python versions (3.10 through 3.15) on macOS. Installation requires both pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-SharedWithYouCore as runtime dependencies.
Use it for
- Build macOS applications in Python that need to access shared content or collaboration features exposed by the OS
- Integrate Python code with macOS system frameworks for document sharing and collaborative workflows
- Develop cross-framework macOS tools that combine PyObjC bindings for multiple Apple frameworks
