:-) Unholy perlism, Batman! For the benefit of gentle readers who are newish and might not have seen the ` character in Python code outside a string literal, or for those who'd forgotten, there is a cure: | >>> re.sub(r"`(.*?)`", r"repr(\1)", "print `whatever`, `foo`, `bar`") | 'print repr(whatever), repr(foo), repr(bar)' :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
