<p>Another possibility is to use the ast module of python: http://docs.python.org/library/ast.html</p><p>The only problem with that module, is that everything you parse must be correct, otherwise it throws an exception, I don't know if that's a problem for your project?<br /> </p><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid #325FBA; padding-left: 5px;margin-left:5px;">-----Original message-----<br /><strong>From:</strong> Eric S.

A more <br />complex example might be something like<br /><br />new base = OS path-base name (old path)<br /><br />or<br /><br />if OS base exists (current path): new base name = OS path base name(current path)<br /><br />What's particularly cute here is that using the translation technique I can <br />actually describe the full object method path with a minimum of speaking <br />overhead. Python is great. :-)<br /><br />But the questions remain, will these tools are stuff like this?<br /><br /><br />-- <br />http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list<br /></blockquote>
