pathfix.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Change the #! line (shebang) occurring in Python scripts.  The new interpreter
# pathname must be given with a -i option.
#
# Command line arguments are files or directories to be processed.
# Directories are searched recursively for files whose name looks
# like a python module.
# Symbolic links are always ignored (except as explicit directory
# arguments).
# The original file is kept as a back-up (with a "~" attached to its name),
# -n flag can be used to disable this.

# Sometimes you may find shebangs with flags such as `#! /usr/bin/env python -si`.
# Normally, pathfix overwrites the entire line, including the flags.
# To change interpreter and keep flags from the original shebang line, use -k.
# If you want to keep flags and add to them one single literal flag, use option -a.


# Undoubtedly you can do this using find and sed or perl, but this is
# a nice example of Python code that recurses down a directory tree
# and uses regular expressions.  Also note several subtleties like
# preserving the file's mode and avoiding to even write a temp file
# when no changes are needed for a file.
#
# NB: by changing only the function fixfile() you can turn this
# into a program for a different change to Python programs...
