Hello,
Would someone tell me how can I add a new entry in the MAPPING dict in the lib2to3/fixes/fix_imports.py that does the following:
"import A" gets fixed as "import C.D as A"
Right now it is fixing by doing "import C.D" and changing several other lines in the code to use this new "C.D" name. I wanted to avoid these changes if possible.
I don't believe there's a way to do that, but adding support for it should be fairly straight-forward. Assign the patch to me for review.
Is there something I could read get some 2to3 understanding ?
The README is a very shallow overview, but it needs to be beefed up to talk about architecture. Honestly, the best way (currently) is to read the existing fixers. Mea culpa.
How do I construct patterns ?
find_pattern.py is the tool I wrote/use to find patterns. You give it some Python code and it spits out the pattern for it. It's hard to hand-construct patterns due to some optimizations done to eliminate unneeded nodes (nodes with only a single child are eliminated, pulling the child to its grandparent).
I see find_pattern.py is only at http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/2to3. Now I remember I saw it some time ago, but was trying to find it at python's repo and couldn't find it =) Thanks Collin. -- -- Guilherme H. Polo Goncalves
