### Introduction

`machammer` is library/microframework for Macintosh system administration. The idea is to provide common, often-used functions for admins to build their own management tools.


### System Requirements

- OS X (tested with 10.11)


### system_profiler

machammer includes `system_profiler` - a simple wrapper around OS X's `system_profiler (1)` tool. It provides a simple API for accessing system profile information as well as caching to improve performance (especially when dealing with application profile data).


#### Usage

Simple example to find and list all versions of ArchiCAD 19:

```python
import system_profiler
results = system_profiler.find('Applications', '_name', 'ArchiCAD 19')
print([x['version'] for x in results])
['19.0.0 R1 FIN (6006)']
```

Check `tests.py` for more usage examples.
