Python version of https://gist.github.com/3773519 that pulls all bookmarks on the first sync, and does incremental updates afterwards. Also uses the Mac OS X keychain to retrieve your password so it doesn't need to live in a file on your computer in plain text.

"""
This script is designed to generate a simple html file with _all_ of your Pinboard.in bookmarks
The HTML file can be added to Launchbar's index as a custom bookmark file and you can search
your entire Pinboard.in collection instantly from Launchbar (by title only). It includes
any applied tags as part of the title to aid in searching.
Requirements:
* pytz
* requests
* dateutil
You should edit the username, bookmark_filename, and local_timezone variables
to suit your preferences.
