+"""plistlib.py -- a tool to generate and parse MacOSX .plist files.
+
+The PropertList (.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, Data or datetime.datetime objects. String values (including
+dictionary keys) may 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.
+
+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=u'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())),
+    )
+    # unicode keys are possible, but a little awkward to use:
+    pl[u'\xc5benraa'] = "That was a unicode key."
+    writePlist(pl, fileName)
+
+Parse Plist example:
+
+    pl = readPlist(pathOrFile)
+    print pl["aKey"]
