Completely reset TCC services database in macOS
Note: Both the system and individual users have TCC databases; run the script as both
a user and as root to completely reset TCC decisions at all levels.

#!/usr/bin/python
# As written, this requires the following:
# - OS X 10.6+ (may not work in 10.10, haven't tested)
# - python 2.6 or 2.7 (for collections.namedtuple usage, should be fine as default python in 10.6 is 2.6)
# - pyObjC (as such, recommended to be used with native OS X python install)
# Only tested and confirmed to work against 10.9.5
# Run with root
