How to get the version of a file

Re: How to get the version of a file

you need appscript "that allows you to control scriptable Mac OS X
applications from Python"

Re: How to get the version of a file

I'm not clear on how to use this to read the version resource.
Specially, I need to get the version of Palm Conduit, which is, I guess,
a "carbonized " shared library... or something.

?

Hello J,
#!/usr/bin/env python

from xml.etree.cElem entTree import iterparse
from os.path import isfile

def get_version(app ):
info_file = "/Applications/%s.app/Contents/Info.plist" % app
if not isfile(info_fil e):
raise KeyError("No version file found")

get = 0
for event, element in iterparse(open( info_file)):
if get:
return element.text

if (element.tag == "key") and (element.text ==
"CFBundleVersio n"):
get = 1

raise KeyError("Can't find CFBundleVersion key")

if __name__ == "__main__":
from sys import argv

print get_version(arg v[1])

HTH,
