r"""plistlib.py -- a tool to generate and parse MacOSX .plist files.
The property list (.plist) file format is a simple XML pickle supporting
basic object types, like dictionaries, lists, numbers and strings.
Usually the top level object is a dictionary.
To write out a plist file, use the writePlist(rootObject, pathOrFile)
function. 'rootObject' is the top level object, 'pathOrFile' is a
filename or a (writable) file object.
To parse a plist from a file, use the readPlist(pathOrFile) function,
with a file name or a (readable) file object as the only argument. It
returns the top level object (again, usually a dictionary).
To work with plist data in bytes objects, you can use readPlistFromBytes()
and writePlistToBytes().
Values can be strings, integers, floats, booleans, tuples, lists,
dictionaries (but only with string keys), Data or datetime.datetime objects.
String values (including dictionary keys) have to be unicode strings -- they
will be written out as UTF-8.
The <data> plist type is supported through the Data class. This is a
thin wrapper around a Python bytes object. Use 'Data' if your strings
contain control characters.
Generate Plist example:
pl = dict(
aString = "Doodah",
aList = ["A", "B", 12, 32.1, [1, 2, 3]],
aFloat = 0.1,
anInt = 728,
aDict = dict(
anotherString = "<hello & hi there!>",
aUnicodeValue = "M\xe4ssig, Ma\xdf",
aTrueValue = True,
aFalseValue = False,
),
someData = Data(b"<binary gunk>"),
someMoreData = Data(b"<lots of binary gunk>" * 10),
aDate = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(time.gmtime())),
)
writePlist(pl, fileName)
Parse Plist example:
pl = readPlist(pathOrFile)
print pl["aKey"]
