Hi,
I'm trying to write a bookmark synchronizer from Firefox/Foxmarks to Safari.
The Firefox side of things will be fairly easy and I thought the Safari side
would be too. Right now I am simply attempting to read my Bookmarks.plist
file using plistlib.py. Here is my attempt to read the file along with the
traceback that I get...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In [1]: import plistlib
In [2]: plistlib.Plist.fromFile('Bookmarks.plist')
fileobj ---> <open file 'Bookmarks.plist', mode 'r' at 0x8e45d10>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<class 'xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError'> Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/william/williamFAT/utilities/mac_projs/<ipython console> in <module>()
/usr/lib/python2.5/plistlib.py in fromFile(cls, pathOrFile)
339 def fromFile(cls, pathOrFile):
340 """Deprecated. Use the readPlist() function instead."""
--> 341 rootObject = readPlist(pathOrFile)
342 plist = cls()
343 plist.update(rootObject)
/usr/lib/python2.5/plistlib.py in readPlist(pathOrFile)
75 didOpen = 1
76 p = PlistParser()
---> 77 rootObject = p.parse(pathOrFile)
78 if didOpen:
79 pathOrFile.close()
/usr/lib/python2.5/plistlib.py in parse(self, fileobj)
401 parser.CharacterDataHandler = self.handleData
402 print 'fileobj --->',fileobj
--> 403 parser.ParseFile(fileobj)
404 return self.root
405
<class 'xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError'>: not well-formed (invalid token):
line 1, column 8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I can read other plist files fine such as SignaturesByAccount.plist
and AddressBookMe.plist.
I am trying to do this in Ubuntu with Python2.5.
The xml version might also be useful...
In [4]: xml.__version__
Out[4]: '0.8.4'
Thanks,
Bill
