Credits

This script was an excuse for me to try to learn python. I learn best when I can pull apart existing scripts. As such, this script is heavily based on the great work by Nate Walck, Allister Banks, Rich Trouton, Graham Gilbert, and Greg Neagle.

Outset uses FoundationPlist, a library to work with binary plists written by Greg Neagle as part of his Munki project.
