Get OS X version from DMG
#!/usr/bin/python

# getosversionfromdmg.py
#
# Copyright (c) 2014 The Regents of the University of Michigan
#
# Retrieves the OS version and build from the InstallESD.dmg contained in
# a typical "Install (Mac) OS X <Name>.app" bundle.
#
# To run:
# ./getosversionfromdmg.py \
# "/Applications/Install OS X <Name>.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg"
#
# Two modes:
# - When run without sudo it reports the version and build to STDOUT
# - When run with sudo it reports the version and build to STDOUT and renames
# the DMG to "InstallESD_<version>_<build>.dmg"
#
# Based on code written for the Munki project by Greg Neagle:
