I'm trying to install plistutils and use it in terminale, I tried to do this:




  1. brew install python

  2. pip install plistutils

  3. ???


I found that it's located in




/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/plistutils/






  • init.py


  • pycache

  • alias.py

  • bookmark.py

  • nskeyedarchiver.py

  • plistparser.py

  • utils.py


How can I use plistutils from the terminal? Something like this:



atikhonov: plistutils -d -i file.plist





python macos pip

  • @Mark No module named plistutils.__main__; 'plistutils' is a package and cannot be directly executed

    This library doesn't define any executables, as can be seen in its setup script. If you need an executable script, you have to write one yourself (or find one somewhere). Take a look at the readme for sample snippets.

plistutils does not define any commands. You can't use it from the terminal, only inside Python code.

            What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

            Image
            0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
