<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>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576643 by <a href="/recipes/users/4169084/">Alia Khouri</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/cleaner/">cleaner</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cleaning/">cleaning</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/files/">files</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/folder/">folder</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pyc/">pyc</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/recursion/">recursion</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/svn/">svn</a>). Revision 24. </p> <p>This script recursively scans a given path and applies a cleaning 'action' to matching files and folders. By default files and folders matching the specified (.endswith) patterns are deleted. Alternatively, _quoted_ glob patterns can used with the '-g' or '--glob' option.</p> <p>By design, the script lists targets and asks permission before applying cleaning actions. It should be easy to extend this script with further actions and also more intelligent pattern matching functions.</p> <p>The getch (single key confirmation) functionality comes courtesy of <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/</a></p> <p>To use it, place the script in your path and call it something like 'clean':</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Usage: clean [options] patterns deletes files/folder patterns: clean .svn .pyc clean -p /tmp/folder .svn .csv .bzr .pyc clean -g "*.pyc" clean -ng "*.py" converts line endings from windows to unix: clean -e .py clean -e -p /tmp/folder .py Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -p PATH, --path=PATH set path -n, --negated clean everything except specified patterns -e, --endings clean line endings -g, --glob clean with glob patterns -v, --verbose </code></pre>
