For all the amazing powers of Python, deploying packaged apps that leverage native OS level

capabilities isn't really one of them.

But it can be done.

We have a great guest, Rhett Turnbull, here to tell us how he built his distributable MacOS app

Textinator that uses MacOS's native vision recognition framework through Python.

This is Talk Python to Me.

Thanks, Michael. Glad to be here. I'm glad to have you here. So many interesting things to cover on

the show. I'm really, really excited. Let's start with the excitement, I guess, of saying we're both

excited about Mac computers. It's about, I guess, a one-third split, maybe not quite that many

for Mac developers in the Python space. but there's a lot of people who

write code either on a Mac or for people who use a Mac, and it would be nice to make a little

bit more of a native thing with Python. And so we're going to talk about this really awesome

app that you wrote. And here we are because of a tweet follow-up for the Python Byte show.

You sent a really cool tweet.

And I'm like, this is amazing.
