Getting this plist from a 'plst' resource should be 10 lines at most 
(but the challenge is of course finding the correct 10 lines:-).

If you structure this as an addition to plistlib (such as 
plistlib.Plist.fromResource(filename, restype='plst', resid=0)) and you 
can live with the rules for donating code to Python (basically that you 
transfer ownership to the Python Software Foundation, www.python.org 
has the details) I'd be happy to incorporate it into the standard 
distribution.
