The tool for this is pyobjc-metadata in the pyobjc repository. There is little to no documentation at the moment.

I have to wrap another 3th party framework in the near future, and will use that opportunity to write some documentation and push pyobjc-metadata to pypi (making it easier to install). In theory, a working wrapper is just one script invocation away, although the tool uses a regex-based parser to scan header files and that parser might be easy to confuse.
