It looks like it should be straightforward. I don't have the sqlobject
library installed though, so it complains to me.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Wayne\My
Documents\Downloads\ExpressionEngineE
xport.py", line 4, in <module>
    from sqlobject import *
ImportError: No module named sqlobject

What that means is that I need to install sqlobject from
http://www.sqlobject.org/

Python should be installed on your mac by default. It appears that you've
already got the Databases.cfg file configured, so you should just be able to
run the other two files in the same directory as your .cfg file and
everything should be fine.

HTH,
Wayne
