What happens when you try to analyze a script from a diffrent os ? It
usually looks like a skewed mess, that is why I have added EOL
conversion so it is painless for you to convert to your eol of choice.
The code I posted consist of a class and a Main function.
The class has three methods.
__init__ is called by Python when you create an instance of the class
Stripper. All __init__ does here is just set a class variable self.raw
.
format is called explicitly with a few arguments to start the
tokenizer.
__call__ is special it is not easy to grasp how this even works.. at
first.
In Python when you treat an instance like a function, Python invokes
the __call__method of that instance if present and if it is callable().
example:
try:
tokenize.tokenize(text.readline, self)
except tokenize.TokenError, ex:
traceback.print_exc()
The snippet above is from the Stripper class.
Notice that tokenize.tokenize is being feed a reference to self ( if
this code is running self is an instance of Stripper ).
tokenize.tokenize is really a hidden loop.
Each token generated is sent to self as five parts toktype, toktext,
(startrow,startcol), (endrow,endcol), and line. Self is callable and
has a __call__ method so tokenize sends really sends the five part
info to __call__ for every token.
If this was obvious then ignore it ;)
