DMG fails to build

[machawk1]

As reported by Dhanashree, in building the DMG using the MAKEFILE:

biplist.InvalidPlistException: module 'plistlib' has no attribute 'Data'

It seems the `biplist` library is attempting to access an attribute `Data` in `plistlib`, which has been removed in Python 3.11. I believe this is causing the `InvalidPlistException` error, as `biplist` is trying to read a plist file but is not compatible with the new version of Python.

To address this issue, I am considering the following potential fixes:
1. Update biplist: I will check if there is an updated version of the biplist  library that resolves this compatibility issue with Python 3.11.
2. Modify the code to use plistlib directly: Since recent versions of  plistlib support both binary and XML plist files, I could replace `biplist` with `plistlib` in the affected part of the code.

I verified that the issue persists in Python 3.12.0, macOS 14.6.1, Apple M1, current main branch HEAD 041be9b.

The plistlib.Data compatibility issue with Python 3.11 has been resolved! I replaced plistlib.Data with bytes in biplist, and it now works smoothly.

@dhanashreedeshmukh Can you submit a PR to this repo with this fix in place? I can then merge it in and we can close this issue. Thanks!

I have made the change directly to the biplist library in Python environment (outside of a Git repository)
