ABOUT

Creates a plist array from a list of records in a CSV OR a plist dictionary from a multi-column CSV

USAGE

Usage is simple, just invoke from the command line:

python csv2plist.py csvfile [output plist file] [type]

output plist file is optional, if unused it'll create a plist in the same directory as the CSV type can be 'array' or 'dict' (default is 'array').

If you're creating a dictionary, the first row in the CSV will be used as the keys.

EXAMPLES

python csv2plist.py mycsv.csv outputs: mycsv.plist in the same directory as mycsv.csv

python csv2plist.py mycsv.csv myplist.plist outputs: myplist.plist in the same directory as mycsv.csv

python csv2plist.py mycsv.csv myplist.plist dict outputs: myplist.plist in the same directory as mycsv.csv but this time creates a dictionary.
