protool

A tool for dealing with provisioning profiles.

What can it do?

• Read profiles as XML or as a dictionary
• Read the values from the profile
• Diff two profiles to see what has changed

Installation

pip install protool

Examples:

import protool
profile = protool.ProvisioningProfile("/path/to/profile")

# Get the diff of two profiles
diff = protool.diff("/path/to/first", "/path/to/second", tool_override="diff")

# Get the UUID of a profile
print profile.uuid

# Get the full XML of the profile
print profile.xml

# Get the parsed contents of the profile as a dictionary
print profile.contents()

Alternatively, from the command line:

# Get the diff
protool diff --profiles /path/to/profile1 /path/to/profile2 --tool diff

# Get the UUID of a profile
protool read --profile /path/to/profile --key UUID

# Get the raw XML (identical to using `security cms -D -i /path/to/profile`)
protool decode --profile /path/to/profile

Custom diff commands (tool_override in Python or --tool on the command line) accept an executable and optional arguments, for example --tool 'diff -u'. Quote executable paths or arguments containing spaces within the command string, for example --tool '"/path with spaces/diff" -u'. Commands run directly, without a shell: pipes, redirection, environment-variable expansion, and command substitution are not supported. Profile paths are always passed as literal arguments.
