You can find some code I worked on that I hope would be useful to others on [BitBucket][bitbucket].

filemaker.py
————

A tool for parsing Filemaker XML data written in Python.

[http://bitbucket.org/davidbuxton/filemaker/][filemaker]

I have a post about [Migrating a Filemaker database to Django][migrate] that describes its use in more detail.

watchedinstall
———–

Preston Holmes’ tool for determining filesystem changes made by an installer process on Mac OS X.

[http://bitbucket.org/ptone/watchedinstall/][watchedinstall]

It is a beautifully neat approach to the hassle of re-packaging software that is delivered with non-package format installers. My fork is here: [http://bitbucket.org/davidbuxton/watchedinstall/][watchedinstallfork]
