# API Notes: CoreData framework

The full API is described in Apple’s documentation, both the C and Objective-C APIs are available (but see the API Notes below).

These bindings are accessed through the `CoreData` package (that is, `import CoreData`).

## Compatibility information

When you’re running on MacOSX 10.4 PyObjC will automaticly translate Python attribute access in KVO access to the underlying `NSManagedObject`. This functionality no longer works on MacOSX 10.5, you have to use proper KVO methods to access properties to be compatible with both OSX 10.4 and 10.5.

## API Notes

- class `NSManagedObject`

  The methods `setObservationInfo:` and `observationInfo` cannot be used from Python.
