The property list (``.plist``) file format is a simple XML pickle supporting
basic object types, like dictionaries, lists, numbers and strings. Usually the
top level object is a dictionary.
To write out and to parse a plist file, use the :func:`writePlist` and
:func:`readPlist` functions.
To work with plist data in bytes objects, use :func:`writePlistToBytes`
and :func:`readPlistFromBytes`.

Apple's documentation of the file format.
This module defines the following functions:
.. function:: readPlist(pathOrFile)
Read a plist file. *pathOrFile* may either be a file name or a (readable)
file object. Return the unpacked root object (which usually is a
dictionary).
The XML data is parsed using the Expat parser from :mod:`xml.parsers.expat`
-- see its documentation for possible exceptions on ill-formed XML.
Unknown elements will simply be ignored by the plist parser.
.. function:: writePlist(rootObject, pathOrFile)
Write *rootObject* to a plist file. *pathOrFile* may either be a file name
or a (writable) file object.
A :exc:`TypeError` will be raised if the object is of an unsupported type or
a container that contains objects of unsupported types.
.. function:: readPlistFromBytes(data)
