appnope
Simple package for disabling App Nap on macOS >= 10.9, which can be problematic.
To disable App Nap for the current process:
import appnope
appnope.nope()
To reenable, for some reason:
appnope.nap()
or to only disable App Nap for a particular block:
with appnope.nope_scope():
do_important_stuff()
It uses ctypes to wrap a [NSProcessInfo beginActivityWithOptions] call to disable App Nap.
To install:
pip install appnope
