PylibKit: Python as a Swift SDK

PylibKit: Python as a Swift SDK

CPython + curated wheels, wrapped in Swift async APIs

PylibKit lets iOS/macOS apps use Python libraries—including C-extension and Rust-backed wheels—without exposing Python to app code. Everything is bundled into a single Swift XCFramework. You call generated Swift services with async/await, receive Swift types, and never touch PythonObject. We handle CPython, pinned wheels, asyncio safety, threading, signing, and reproducible builds—so app teams can focus on features, not toolchains.

We built PylibKit out of frustration. Every time we wanted Python in an iOS/macOS app, more time went into packaging CPython, native extensions, SSL/libffi, codesigning, simulator/device splits, and CI reproducibility than into the actual product. So we changed the model. Instead of “embedding Python,” we treat Python as a versioned SDK dependency. PylibKit: 1. Bundles CPython and curated, pinned wheels (yes, C/Rust ones too) 2. Generates Swift-first façades so app code stays 100% Swift 3. Runs Python on a dedicated executor-owned thread 4. Enforces asyncio safety by design (no loop or reference mixing) 5. Produces deterministic, reproducible, signed XCFrameworks Swift developers call async/await. Python stays in the engine room. We’d love feedback on: 1. Which Python modules or use cases you’d want first 2. Where the Swift API could feel even more “Swifty” Our goal is simple: use Python as a hidden engine, without compromising the Swift developer experience.
