Import Replacement
Imagine there are two files horse.py and buffalo.py. horse.py is imported by another file rider.py. Is it possible to make it so that under certain circumstances possibly based on an environment variable or something similar that when rider.py imports horse.py, it actually imports buffalo.py sort of like a behind the scenes replacement so that rider.py needs little, preferably absolutely no modification? Right now, I am investigating the use of sys.modules and doing something using sys.modules['horse.py'] = 'buffalo.py'. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Regex Generator From Multiple Files
I am looking for a way given a number of files, say 3, that represent technical support tickets in the same format to generate regular expressions for the different fields automatically. An example from of one line from each file: Date: 12/30/2008 Room: 457 Building: Main Date: 12/31/2008 Room: A21 Building: Annex Date: 1/4/2009 Room: L69 Building: Library The program would then, possibly using the python diff library, generate the regular expression needed to parse out different fields. In this case it might return a tuple like ("^Date:[\w]+(.*)[\w]+Room","Room:[\w]+(.*)[\w]+Building","Building:[\w]+(.*)[\w]+$") that would match each of the fields based on the common data and sort of assume that what doesn't change between them is data we are looking for. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Diff Across Multiple Files
I am looking for a way to diff across multiple files; on average around 30 to 60 using python and probably the diff library so that we could see what is common between all files and sort of ignore the differences. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
