Little python script to export your dashboard stickies to text only format to copy to another location

exportstickies.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import json, subprocess, os, re, HTMLParser

exportcmd = 'plutil -convert json -o - %s' % os.path.expanduser('~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist')
out = json.loads(subprocess.check_output(exportcmd.split(' ')))

stickies = []
htmlparser = HTMLParser.HTMLParser()

for key in out.keys():
  if not '-data' in key:
    continue

  html = out[key]
  text = re.sub('\n+', '\n', '\n'.join(re.split(r'<[^>]*div>', html))).strip()
  text = '\n'.join(re.split(r'<br[^>]*>\n?', text))
  lines = text.split('\n')
  lines = map((lambda parm: htmlparser.unescape(parm).strip()), lines)
  text = '\n'.join(lines).strip()
  stickies.append(text)


print '\n\n=====\n\n'.join(stickies)
