"""plistlib.py -- a tool to generate and parse MacOSX .plist files.
The main class in this module is Plist. It takes a set of arbitrary
keyword arguments, which will be the top level elements of the plist
dictionary. After instantiation you can add more elements by assigning
new attributes to the Plist instance.
To write out a plist file, call the write() method of the Plist
instance with a filename or a file object.
To parse a plist from a file, use the Plist.fromFile(pathOrFile)
classmethod, with a file name or a file object as the only argument.
(Warning: you need pyexpat installed for this to work, ie. it doesn't
work with a vanilla Python 2.2 as shipped with MacOS X.2.)
Values can be strings, integers, floats, booleans, tuples, lists,
dictionaries, Data or Date objects. String values (including dictionary
keys) may be unicode strings -- they will be written out as UTF-8.
For convenience, this module exports a class named Dict(), which
allows you to easily construct (nested) dicts using keyword arguments.
But regular dicts work, too.
To support Boolean values in plists with Python < 2.3, "bool", "True"
and "False" are exported. Use these symbols from this module if you
want to be compatible with Python 2.2.x (strongly recommended).
The <data> plist type is supported through the Data class. This is a
thin wrapper around a Python string.
The <date> plist data has (limited) support through the Date class.
(Warning: Dates are only supported if the PyXML package is installed.)
Generate Plist example:
pl = Plist(
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("<binary gunk>"),
someMoreData = Data("<lots of binary gunk>" * 10),
aDate = Date(time.mktime(time.gmtime())),
)
# unicode keys are possible, but a little awkward to use:
pl[u'\xc5benraa'] = "That was a unicode key."
pl.write(fileName)
Parse Plist example:
pl = Plist.fromFile(pathOrFile)
print pl.aKey
