Wrapper for mdfind about alfred-workflow HOT 2 CLOSED

Looks like a very handy library with a clever API. I'll definitely give that a try next time I code something Spotlight-y.

WRT, Alfred-Workflow, an mdfind wrapper was very much a maybe, possibly, one day kind of thing. It has never been a will-definitely-do-it thing like, say, file locking or a really-want-this feature like sqlite-backed indexing and search.

Seeing as nobody has ever asked for it, and you've written a pretty full-featured library to do just that, I think we should probably just point people to your metadata library instead.

It's only 30KB, so there isn't any appreciable benefit in implementing a stripped-down version to save space, as with web.py or the diacritic folding, which are lightweight versions of multi-megabyte libraries.

OTOH, if you can come up with minimal versions of find or list that cover the most common cases, why not?

If it's low on the priority list, then leaving them separate makes as much sense as adding it in. The only real baggage I could drop would be the attributes.py script which dynamically generates all the MDAttribute objects. Users would simply have to create their own MDAttribute objects. That would only drop 6KB tho.

For now, we can leave them separate.
