Thanks for this note. There was a serious bug in the base Importer class, in the undent method. Other than that, all changes should be to the Py_Importer subclass. All importers use the same basic strategy. Each importer handles the input line-by-line. The tokenizer subclasses know all about tokens such as strings and multi-line comments. Tokenizing each line is essential to avoid mistaking strings for syntactic entities. The main line of each importer is the gen_lines method. Many importers use the base Importer.gen_lines method. The python importer does not, because indentation matters so much. I am starting to get an inkling that the python version of gen_lines method might be simplified. I am also wondering how much processing to do in gen_lines and how much in the post pass. We shall see. Feel free to ask questions about your importer. Leo's importers are part of its crown jewels.
