<p>This module provides an interface for reading and writing the “property list”
files used mainly by Mac OS X and supports both binary and XML plist files.</p>
<p>The property list (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.plist</span></code>) file format is a simple serialization supporting
basic object types, like dictionaries, lists, numbers and strings.  Usually the
top level object is a dictionary.</p>
<p>To write out and to parse a plist file, use the <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.dump" title="plistlib.dump"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump()</span></code></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.load" title="plistlib.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load()</span></code></a> functions.</p>
<p>To work with plist data in bytes objects, use <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.dumps" title="plistlib.dumps"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dumps()</span></code></a>
and <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.loads" title="plistlib.loads"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loads()</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>Values can be strings, integers, floats, booleans, tuples, lists, dictionaries
(but only with string keys), <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.Data" title="plistlib.Data"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Data</span></code></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#bytes" title="bytes"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytes</span></code></a>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytesarray</span></code>

<dd><p>Read a plist file. <em>fp</em> should be a readable and binary file object.
Return the unpacked root object (which usually is a

<p>The <em>fmt</em> is the format of the file and the following values are valid:</p>

<p>The <em>dict_type</em> is the type used for dictionaries that are read from the

<a class="reference internal" href="collections.html#collections.OrderedDict" title="collections.OrderedDict"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">collections.OrderedDict</span></code></a> (although the order of keys shouldn’t be

<p>XML data for the <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.FMT_XML" title="plistlib.FMT_XML"><code class="xref py py-data docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FMT_XML</span></code></a> format is parsed using the Expat parser

exceptions on ill-formed XML.  Unknown elements will simply be ignored
by the plist parser.</p>
<p>The parser for the binary format raises <code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">InvalidFileException</span></code>
