Hello Everyone
The Python formatter that I mentioned a few weeks ago is attached. It has a doc
string that explains its usage.
One thing I'm wondering about is what happens to the memory used by the
liblouis table when the program ends. I don't see how to clear it.

""" This program, lou_transtext.py, takes an input file, translates it with
liblouis according to the tablelist variable
and formats it with a line length given in the lineLength variable. It asks for
the names of the input file and the output file.
As provided, tableList is ["en-ueb-g2.ctb] Note that it is a Python list.
lineLength is currently set to 38. You can set tableList and lineLength
according to your preferences.

tableList = ["en-ueb-g2.ctb"]
