This updated version implements some cool new things:

* Support for macOS 10.14, 10.15, 11, 12, 13 and 14
* Usage of the Munki-included Python3
* Support for macOS 10.14, 10.15, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 26
* Usage of [MacAdmins Python](https://github.com/macadmins/python) (munki-python was removed in Munki 7)
* Enhances usage of Microsoft Excel to edit the CSV file: for regions which use the comma as the decimal separator, Microsoft Excel expects a semicolon as separator in CSV files. The script will distinguish between both variants.
* The order of the csv columns do not have to be preserved, but **keep the names of the 1st row**.
* Sanity checks for the csv fields
* Option to setup printers using AirPrint provided PPDs, using [airprint-ppd](https://github.com/wycomco/airprint-ppd)
* Option to define a path to Munki repo and an optional subdirectory
* Option to define a separate name for the Munki pkginfo item
* Option to define a Munki category
* **This script should preserve backward compatibility!**
