The answer is in your plist format itself. Everything is enclosed in
an array - which becomes a list in py.
How about something like this:
for key in plist:
if 'opParam' in key and 'scriptNO' in key['opParam']:
key['opParam']['scriptNO'] = 67899
plistlib.writePlist(plist, "mynewfile.plist")
Also, is there a reason why file is a tuple containing filename, and
not just a string?
