PyObjC-framework-CoreMediaIO provides Python wrappers for the CoreMediaIO framework on macOS, allowing Python applications to interact with system audio and video I/O devices. This library is part of the larger PyObjC project, which frequently updates its framework bindings in conjunction with new macOS SDK releases to ensure compatibility and expose new APIs.

CoreMediaIO

✓ import CoreMediaIO

Imports the entire CoreMediaIO framework namespace.

kCMIOObjectSystemObject

✓ from CoreMediaIO import kCMIOObjectSystemObject

Imports a specific constant from the CoreMediaIO framework. Most interactions are with C functions and constants.

Demonstrates how to import the CoreMediaIO framework and access a fundamental constant. Due to CoreMediaIO being a C-based API framework, complex interactions often require understanding PyObjC's handling of C functions, pointers, and structs.

import CoreMediaIO import os # CoreMediaIO is a low-level C API framework, primarily dealing with constants, # functions, and structs. This quickstart demonstrates importing the framework # and accessing a fundamental system object constant to confirm setup. # Check if the kCMIOObjectSystemObject constant is available if hasattr(CoreMediaIO, 'kCMIOObjectSystemObject'): system_object_id = CoreMediaIO.kCMIOObjectSystemObject print(f"CoreMediaIO.kCMIOObjectSystemObject found: {system_object_id}") else: print("CoreMediaIO.kCMIOObjectSystemObject not found, framework might not be fully loaded or API changed.") # Note: More complex interactions with CoreMediaIO (e.g., enumerating devices, # getting property data) typically involve Objective-C C-style function calls # requiring knowledge of `objc` bridge types (like pointers and structs). # Refer to Apple's CoreMediaIO documentation and PyObjC examples for advanced usage.

Known issues

breakingPyObjC frequently drops support for older Python versions. PyObjC 12.0 dropped support for Python 3.9; PyObjC 11.0 dropped support for Python 3.8. Always check `requires_python` metadata or release notes for compatibility.

fix

Ensure your Python environment meets the `requires_python` specification (e.g., >=3.10 for PyObjC 12.1) before upgrading PyObjC.

affects: 11.0+, 12.0+

breakingIn PyObjC 10.3, the ability to call `__init__` when a Python user class implemented `__new__` was initially removed, then partially reintroduced in 10.3.1. Code relying on `__new__` provided by PyObjC still cannot use `__init__`.

fix

Review custom `__new__` and `__init__` implementations in Python subclasses of Objective-C classes. If overriding `__new__`, ensure Objective-C style `init` methods (e.g., `initWithFoo_:`) are used where appropriate.

affects: 10.3, 10.3.1

breakingPyObjC 11.1 aligned its core bridge with `clang`'s Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) documentation for Objective-C initializer methods ('init' family). These methods now correctly steal a reference to `self` and return a new reference, which may alter reference counting behavior in some existing code, particularly with `[NSObject alloc]` proxies.

fix

Review Python code interacting with Objective-C initializer methods, especially those dealing with `alloc`/`init` patterns, to ensure correct reference management. PyObjC 10.3 introduced a more Pythonic `Class(...)` instantiation pattern that is generally safer.

affects: 11.1+

breakingStarting with PyObjC 12.0, the `AVFAudio` framework was split into a separate top-level package (`AVFAudio`) instead of being merged into `AVFoundation`. While still included in the `pyobjc-framework-AVFoundation` distribution, direct imports must be updated.

fix

Update imports from `AVFoundation.AVFAudio...` to `AVFAudio...` where applicable.

affects: 12.0+

breakingThe `IMServicePlugIn` framework bindings were removed in PyObjC 10.0, as the underlying framework was deprecated by Apple in macOS 10.13 and completely removed in macOS 14.

fix

Update or remove code that depends on the `IMServicePlugIn` framework. Consider alternative APIs if functionality is still required.

affects: 10.0+
