=======
PyCocoa
=======
A basic, ctypes_-based Python binding to the macOS_ Objective-C Cocoa runtime and
several other macOS_ libraries.
This is package `cocoa-python`_ by *Phillip Nguyen (C) 2011*, modified, extended,
tested, documented and published with permission under both the `MIT License`_ and
the original `New BSD License`_.
Installation
============
To install PyCocoa, type ``pip install PyCocoa`` or ``easy_install PyCocoa`` in a
terminal window. Alternatively, download ``PyCocoa-y.m.d.zip`` from PyPI_ or
GitHub_, ``unzip`` the downloaded file, ``cd`` to directory ``PyCocoa-y.m.d`` and
type ``python setup.py install``. To run all PyCocoa tests, type
``python setup.py test`` or ``python test/run.py`` before or after installation.
Examples `cocoavlc.py`_ and *simple_VLCplayer.py* require installation of the
`VLC App`_ and the corresponding `Python-VLC`_ binding.
Documentation
=============
In addition to the pycocoa_ package, the distribution files contain several tests,
some examples and the documentation_ (generated by Epydoc_ using command line
``epydoc --html --no-private --no-source --name=PyCocoa --url=... -v pycocoa``).
Tests
=====
The tests and examples have only been run with 64-bit Python 3.12.0, 3.11.5, 3.8.10
and 2.7.18 using `Python-VLC`_ 3.0.18, 3.0.12, 3.0.11, 3.0.10, 3.0.8, 3.0.6, 3.0.4
and 2.2.8 (with the compatible `VLC App`_ and 3.0.16) on macOS 14.1.2 Sonoma, 13.2
Ventura, 12.0.1 Monterey, 11.6.1 and 11.5.2 Big Sur (aka 10.16), 10.15.7 Catalina,
10.14.6 Mojave or 10.13.6 High Sierra. The tests run *with and without*
``lazy import`` in Python 3.
Python 3.12.0 and 3.11.5 run on Apple Silicon (``arm64`` *natively*), other Python
versions run on Intel (``x86_64``) or Intel *emulation* (``arm64_x86_64``, see
function ``pycocoa.machine``).
Previously, PyCocoa was tested with 64-bit Python 3.10.0, 3.9.6, 3.8.6, 3.8.3, 3.8.1,
3.7.4-6, 3.6.5, 2.7.17 and macOS\' 2.7.16. PyCocoa has *not been tested* on iOS nor
with 32-bit Python and *does not work* with PyPy_ nor with `Intel(R) Python`_.
Notes
=====
All PyCocoa source code has been statically checked_ with PyChecker_, PyFlakes_,
PyCodeStyle_ (formerly Pep8) and McCabe_ using 64-bit Python 2.7.18 and with
Flake8_ using 64-bit Python 3.12.0 on macOS 14.1.2 Sonoma.
Some alternatives to PyCocoa are (a) PyObjC_, the most comprehensive Python to
Objective-C bridge (no longer included in `macOS\' Python`_), (b) `Rubicon-ObjC`_
for Python 3.5+, taking advantage of Python\'s typing_ annotations, (c) PyGUI_
for macOS_ and (d) wxPython_.
