Python Tools/

I was just looking through the Tools dir of the CVS version
(looking for a tool which autoexpands tabs in Python source
files -- which I didn't find) and found some other useful scripts
along the way.

To my surprise these executable files did not have a .py
extension even though were Python source files. Is this
intended ? I find that scripts like "world" provide useful
information which would be nice to have in the standard
lib -- with .py extension...

Other tidbits:

I noted that at least in my CVS tree the Tools/ht2html
dir does not include any executable: have I missed something ?

The script Tools/scripts/parseentities.py is not executable
for some reason.

I would agree, but that's Barry's creation, so I'll let him answer for
himself. Any other scripts with the same problem?

Actually, that directory is a ghost and shouldn't have been exported
at all. (Barry, can you erase it from sweetpea?)

Fixed now.

I hadn't thought about making world a module, but if others agree, I
can play a little CVS magic to move the file to world.py.

If you do a `cvs up -P' (-P for prune) you'll find that that directory
goes away. At one point I started to add the ht2html scripts to the
Python tools, but then we decided not to. Unfortunately, once a
directory's been added to CVS it can never be removed (hence -P).

If you're really interested in the ht2html scripts, which are used to
build the Python.Org and JPython.Org sites (as well as my personal
pages), please see

I just check this and there is no ht2html directory in Tools anymore.
We probably did remove it after you (MAL) had checked it out. You can
either ignore the directory, or delete it from your working dirs. If
cvs complains after deleting it, you may have to manually edit the
CVS/Entries file. Sorry about that -- we know better now.
