def sed_inplace(filename, pattern, repl): ''' Perform the pure-Python equivalent of in-place sed substitution: e.g., sed -i -e 's/'${pattern}'/'${repl}' "${filename}". ''' # For efficiency, precompile the passed regular expression. pattern_compiled = re.compile(pattern)

# For portability, NamedTemporaryFile() defaults to mode "w+b" (i.e., binary
# writing with updating). This is usually a good thing. In this case,
# however, binary writing imposes non-trivial encoding constraints trivially
# resolved by switching to text writing. Let's do that.
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w', delete=False) as tmp_file:
    with open(filename) as src_file:
        for line in src_file:
            tmp_file.write(pattern_compiled.sub(repl, line))

# Overwrite the original file with the munged temporary file in a
# manner preserving file attributes (e.g., permissions).
shutil.copystat(filename, tmp_file.name)
shutil.move(tmp_file.name, filename)

check argc

if len(sys.argv) < 2: print 'Usage: ', sys.argv[0], '-d <docs_directory>' sys.exit(1)

get dir

try: opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], 'd:', ['dir=']) except getopt.GetoptError as ex: print str(ex) sys.exit(2)

copy the argument to dir

dir=None for o, a in opts: if o in ('-d', '--dir'): dir = os.path.expanduser(a) break

print 'Preparing directory: ', dir

creating directory

try: os.makedirs(dir) except OSError as ex: pass

change cwd to the specified dir

os.chdir(dir)

set GRIPURL

os.environ['GRIPURL']=dir

convert md files one-by-one
