coding convention conversion

[D-Man]

This shouldn't be too hard with a python script and some regexes with
some more string processing in between (or maybe multiple pass).

Everything you want to change is bounded by "def" on one side and "("
on the other.  Then replace the capitals with _ followed by the lower
case version.

A quick (partial) solution:

re = re.compile( "def ([a-z]+)([A-Z])([a-z]*)\(" )

for line in source.readlines() :
	match = re.match( line )
	if ( match ) :
		res = "def " + re.group( 0 ) + "_" + \
			string.lower( re.group( 1 ) + re.group( 2 ) + "("


This isn't complete and won't have the arguments in the result (nor
preserve indentation before the "def").

I think the re.sub() function will do more of what you want it to.
