PyObjC Framework ExecutionPolicy

Warnings

• breaking PyObjC 12.0 dropped support for Python 3.9. Projects using older Python versions must upgrade to 3.10 or newer.
  Fix: Upgrade your Python environment to Python 3.10 or a later supported version.
• breaking PyObjC 11.0 dropped support for Python 3.8. Projects using this version must upgrade their Python environment.
  Fix: Upgrade your Python environment to Python 3.9 or a later supported version.
• breaking PyObjC 11.1 aligned its Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) behavior for 'init' family methods to strictly follow `clang`'s documentation. This change affects how references to 'self' are managed by initializer methods, which now steal a reference to self and return a new one.
  Fix: Review any custom Objective-C initializer methods implemented in Python subclasses to ensure correct reference handling in line with ARC principles.
• gotcha PyObjC automatically disables Key-Value Observing (KVO) for subclasses of `NSProxy` defined in Python.
  Fix: Be aware that KVO functionality will not be available for Python-defined `NSProxy` subclasses. Implement custom observation mechanisms if needed.

Install

• pip install pyobjc-framework-executionpolicy Install pyobjc-framework-executionpolicy

Imports

• ExecutionPolicy

  from ExecutionPolicy import *

  Framework classes, functions, and constants are imported directly from the package named after the framework.

Quickstart

This quickstart demonstrates the general PyObjC import pattern for a framework, using `Foundation` for a simple interaction. To utilize the `ExecutionPolicy` framework specifically, you would import its relevant classes and functions and interact with them as per Apple's ExecutionPolicy API documentation.

import objc
from Foundation import NSString, NSLog
from ExecutionPolicy import *

def main():
    # Example using Foundation, as direct ExecutionPolicy framework usage
    # often requires specific macOS context and knowledge of its APIs.
    hello_string = NSString.stringWithString_("Hello from PyObjC and ExecutionPolicy context!")
    NSLog("%@", hello_string)

    # To interact with the ExecutionPolicy framework, you would typically
    # call specific functions or instantiate classes from the 'ExecutionPolicy'
    # module, according to Apple's documentation for the framework.
    # For example, if a function 'EPCopyAssessmentInfo' exists:
    # try:
    #     info = EPCopyAssessmentInfo("/Applications/Safari.app")
    #     NSLog("Assessment Info: %@", info)
    # except Exception as e:
    #     NSLog("Could not get assessment info: %@", str(e))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
