@ -8,9 +8,12 @@ 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 (usually a dictionary).
To parse a plist from a file, use the readPlist(pathOrFile) function,

returns the top level object (again, usually a dictionary).
To work with plist data in strings, you can use readPlistFromString()
and writePlistToString().
Values can be strings, integers, floats, booleans, tuples, lists,
dictionaries, Data or Date objects. String values (including dictionary

This module exports a class named Dict(), which allows you to easily
construct (nested) dicts using keyword arguments as well as accessing
values with attribute notation, where d.foo is equivalent to d["foo"].
Regular dictionaries work, too.
Regular dictionaries work, too. Dictionaries are always represented with
Dict instances when loading plist data.
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.)
