class ocebuild.third_party.cpython.plistlib.UID(data)

Bases: plistlib.UID

A plistlib.UID subclass that enforces a 32-bit limit on the UID value.

Apple handles UIDs assuming 32-bit unsigned integers:

• [CF/CFBinaryPList.c#L138-L146](https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/CF/blob/dc54c6bb1c1e5e0b9486c1d26dd5bef110b20bf3/CFBinaryPList.c#L138-L146)

• [CF/CFPropertyList.c#L1538-L1547](https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/CF/blob/dc54c6bb1c1e5e0b9486c1d26dd5bef110b20bf3/CFPropertyList.c#L1538-L1547)

The original plistlib.UID class does not enforce this limit, so we must override the constructor to ensure the value is within the 32-bit limit.
