$ more classfix.py

# This script is obsolete -- it is kept for historical purposes only.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:

(if you don't understand that comment, it says that this is a conversion
script for converting code written for Python 0.9.8 to the current syntax,
which is left in there for historical purposes only)
