I’ve added a complete extension to the documentation (https://pyobjc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notes/using-nsxpcinterface.html <https://pyobjc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notes/using-nsxpcinterface.html>). 

Use “python setup.py install” to build and install the C extension. This should work when either Xcode or the Xcode command line tools are installed.

The example assumes that you only need definition in the core Cocoa frameworks (Foundation, AppKit), you may have to adjust the includes and link flags if you need definitions from other frameworks.

I’ve described the workaround in <https://pyobjc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notes/using-nsxpcinterface.html <https://pyobjc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notes/using-nsxpcinterface.html>>, that description assumes you know how to write C extensions.

I have filed an issue with Apple about this, but have little hope that this will accomplish anything. And even if my request is granted this would end up in macOS 13 at the earliest.
