    Especially as I am unfamiliar with Sketch I do not know of any equivalents to psd_tools. However, this question might help you. Otherwise, you might need to create your own parser.

    I don’t have any experience with Sketch, but I downloaded a sample .sketch file and it turned out to be an “SQLite 3.x database”. This means you can open it with python’s sqlite3 module.

    As it happens I had some code lying around that I wrote to inspect another sqlite database, so I took a look: It contains a metadata table and a “payload” table (called metadata and payload, respectively), both of which have just name and value columns. However, the payload table has just one row, and in both tables the values seem to be containers in some other format I don’t recognize. So although sqlite3 is the file format, it appears that it is just the outer layer of the onion.

    Edit:
    The new sketch file format (> 43) is super friendly.
    It’s actually a zip folder in which you have the assets and json files which describe the contents.
