Export Safari's reading list to webloc files.

The Python script requires a -i/--ifile argument with the path to Safari's bookmarks file or a byte stream from stdin. Optionally, you can add a -o/--opath argument with the path to the output directory for the .webloc files. If omitted, the .webloc files will be written to the current working directory.

Safari's Bookmarks.plist file can be found in ~/Library/Safari/. However, this directory is by default no longer accessible with Terminal in macOS Mojave (10.14) or later. You can either copy this file somewhere accessible or grant full disk access to Terminal.

Usage examples:

python3 export_safari_reading_list.py -i ~/Desktop/Bookmarks.plist -o ~/Desktop/rlist

cat ~/Desktop/Bookmarks.plist | export_safari_reading_list.py -o ~/Desktop/rlist
