<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577175 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173551/">Marcelo Fernández</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/chr/">chr</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cleaner/">cleaner</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cleaning/">cleaning</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/regex/">regex</a>). </p> <p>This script identifies every chr(xx) call in a script (being xx an integer) and replaces it with a constant byte string. For example: print chr(13) + chr(255) in the input .py file gets translated into '\n' + '\xff' on the output .py file, not breaking the input program, and maybe speeding it a little.</p>
