Converting MonkeyJam Files to Spreadsheets with Python

I've timed out the 2D blocking for all 42 shots of my 'Crows' short in MonkeyJam.  Today I realised it would be great to have this accessible as real paper X-sheets which I could print and annotate as I work through the shots in 3D.  MonkeyJam beta's print feature seems pretty unstable and sometimes just generates junk, so I managed to hack together this quick python 3 script which will read the MonkeyJam '.xps' file and spit out a .csv file which you can then open in OpenOffice or Excel (or just open in notepad and copy and paste into a pre-formatted spreadsheet with all the right font sizes, column widths etc).
