#! /usr/bin/env python

# This script is obsolete -- it is kept for historical purposes only.
#
# Fix Python source files to use the new class definition syntax, i.e.,
# the syntax used in Python versions before 0.9.8:
#       class C() = base(), base(), ...: ...
# is changed to the current syntax:
#       class C(base, base, ...): ...
#
# The script uses heuristics to find class definitions that usually
# work but occasionally can fail; carefully check the output!
#
# Command line arguments are files or directories to be processed.
# Directories are searched recursively for files whose name looks
# like a python module.
# Symbolic links are always ignored (except as explicit directory
# arguments).  Of course, the original file is kept as a back-up
# (with a "~" attached to its name).
#
# Changes made are reported to stdout in a diff-like format.
#
# Undoubtedly you can do this using find and sed or perl, but this is
# a nice example of Python code that recurses down a directory tree
# and uses regular expressions.  Also note several subtleties like
# preserving the file's mode and avoiding to even write a temp file
# when no changes are needed for a file.
#
# NB: by changing only the function fixline() you can turn this
# into a program for a different change to Python programs...
