The plist module

The plist module contains the Plist, and BinaryPlist classes.

These classes are designed to encapsulate a plist object, and be able to convert a standard plist into a binary formatted plist.

The BinaryPlist class

class pysiriproxy.plist.BinaryPlist(data, logger, logFile='/dev/null')
