Thanks, Florian, for the instructions on how to convert the new binary plist files into something parseable.
I'm wondering if it's going to be possible to bundle this sort of functionality into plistlib. Since PyObjC is needed, I guess the normal plistlib won't be able to do it. Maybe a special version of plistlib could be bundled with PyObjC, just to handle this?
Meanwhile, what's the best day to detect if a plist file is binary? I guess I could just wrap the normal plistlib parsing in a try block, catch the exception, and try again after converting from binary, but that seems kludgy.
Does anybody know why Apple chose to start using binary for plist files? This seems mighty inconvenient. Was it for read/write performance?
