It is in Python. I tried the header comment to be descriptive enough. each of
the begin/end markers must be in a separate line followed by a new line
character. Each line including the begin/end markers will be deleted from the
output script. You can also use it like this for example:
def myFunc()
#{
function_body
#}
use it from the command line like this:
braceRemover.py your_script_name
The output script is output.py
Note that the # sign is not necessary.
It is also easy to modify the new line character(s) to get adapted to your
OS/Editor, from within the script.
One more thing you have to be cautious about, is the end of your file to be
ended with a new line.
I haven't tested it so much. Up to now, it has worked fine for me. Feel free to
change it as you want, and do let me know of any potential problems/bugs.
Cheers!
Hamid

Subject: Re: Python Indentation Obligation...
> I concur that the Python indentation is hard to deal, but at least for
writing the Python scripts, I developed a simple script for removing the braces
or whatever start/end markers is required to use for better readability, with
the corresponding indent level. It is very short and easy for my initial Python
scripting practises. If you would like, I will be glad to send it along.
IN which language is your script ? I'm interested.
I found a python modification named pybrace. In fact, that's the type of
thing I'm looking for, because a script so modified would have a syntax
relatively close to other scripting languages (js, lua, ruby, etc.). The
problem with the braces if not to confuse with dictionnaries...
I could perhaps adapt something to use with my 6pad editor. Thank you if you
can send it to me.

scripting language.
I don't doubt about its capabilities, its popularity is a kind of proof. The
only thing which stops me in going further is that indentation problem.
# Takes a Python script as the command line input,
# and reformats it to a properly indented python script,
# based on the begin and the end markers, i.e. '{' and '}' respectively.
# Note that each of the begin/end markers must be in a seperate line, followed
with a newline character, i.e. do press Enter after typing either of the
markers. Be careful of the end of your script; do add a newline character
(press Enter) if there is an end marker there!
import sys
SPACE = ' '
TAB = 4 * SPACE
beginMarker = '{\n'
endMarker = '}\n'
inFile = sys.argv[1] # the input script
outFile = 'output.py' # the output script
def adjustIndent(line, level):
'''Takes an string, replaces any space/tab from the beginning, with the
designated indents.'''
i = 0
l = len(line)
while i < l:
if line[i] != ' ' and line[i] != '\t':
break
i += 1
return level * TAB + line[i:]
fin = open(inFile)
fout = open(outFile, 'w')
indentLevel = 0
for eachLine in fin:
line = eachLine
if beginMarker in line:
indentLevel += 1
elif endMarker in line:
indentLevel -= 1
else:
line = adjustIndent(line, indentLevel)
fout.write(line)
fin.close()
fout.close()
