This is a Python module intended to assist IT administrators with manipulation of the macOS Dock.
Originally created as a Gist by @gregneagle and modified to include support for spacers by @discentem.
Place the docklib.py file in your Python path so its contents can be imported into scripts you create. Or, include the file in the same directory as your script.
from docklib import Dock
dock = Dock()
item = dock.makeDockAppEntry('/Applications/Microsoft Word.app')
dock.items['persistent-apps'].append(item)
dock.save()from docklib import Dock
dock = Dock()
item = dock.makeDockAppEntry('/Applications/Microsoft Word.app')
dock.items['persistent-apps'] = [item] + dock.items['persistent-apps']
dock.save()from docklib import Dock
dock = Dock()
dock.replaceDockEntry('/Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app', 'Mail')
dock.save()from docklib import Dock
dock = Dock()
dock.removeDockEntry('Calendar')
dock.save()from docklib import Dock
dock = Dock()
print dock.orientationfrom docklib import Dock
dock = Dock()
dock.orientation = 'left'
dock.autohide = True
dock.save()Displays as a stack to the right of the Dock divider, sorted by modification date, that expands into a fan when clicked. This example checks for the existence of the Documents item and only adds it if it's not already present.

dock = Dock()
if dock.findExistingLabel('Documents', section='persistent-others') == -1:
item = dock.makeDockOtherEntry(os.path.expanduser('~/Documents'),

dock.items['persistent-others'] = [item] + dock.items['persistent-others']
