like myriads of others, i went through the same dance as you did (several times, several programming languages), and sadly, i did not come across plistlib.py in the python case. as a first glance inspires liking and the lib does not seem to require anything mac-specific, i would like to ask why it is not in the standard python distribution? > So away I go.
