About -half the time, this is correct; the rest of the time it is probably one indent -level less than what was desired. It is pretty much guaranteed to be -syntactically correct, (earlier versions broke on some triple-quoted strings). - -With no args, (or "-h") prints usage text. - -Contact: gmcm@hypernet.com - -Additional comments: I have made a few slight changes. It was written to take -command line arguments, so that you can set parameters like the size of indents, -and whether you want the result to be all tabs, or all spaces, or a mixture of -both (an evil combination, if you ask me). It is set, be default, to change your -indentation to all tabs. - -In the current version of Python, all the code in the standard library is -indented with only spaces. This is a somewhat awkward standard on the mac, so -most MacPython code is indented with only tabs. This script can be used to do any -version, but all tabs is the default, which seems to be the best option for the -Mac. - -How to use it on a Mac: - -The script is set up to take filenames (or directory names) on the command line. -To simulate this behaviour with MacPython, you can build an applet out of it -(with BuildApplet, which should be in your Python folder). Any files draggged and -dropped onto the resulting applet will be converted to all tabs, with a backup -copy havning been saved. - -If you want the script to convert to space based indentation, your best bet is -probably to change the default on line 46 of the file. - --Chris Barker cbarker@jps.net |
