What about this:
cvs_header='''
###
#
# @Header:@
#
# @Revision:@
# @Author:@
# @Date:@
#
'''.replace('@', '$')

[Tutor] Embedding strings in a python script
I have a number of text files which need to be checked into CVS. Each file needs a special text header/footer in order that CVS can track changes and version numbers. Python to the rescue. I've written a small python program which will write the header/footer to all files in the current directory. In order to do this, I need to add this string in my python program. cvs_header=''' ### # # $Header:$ # # $Revision:$ # $Author:$ # $Date:$ # ''' It works just fine. However, the program which I wrote also needs to be kept under version control. When I make changes to that program, I noticed that the header above gets modified by cvs, because it contains key variables which are recognized by cvs. This is unacceptable. So I took this string out of my program, wrote it to a pickle file, and now the pickle file is read at runtime, and the program will write the empty header to the target files. I can check the pickle files into cvs as binary files, and the header strings will not be modified. I now have 3 pickle files I need to distribute with the program, which is a minor nuisance. Even using py2exe on Windows, these 3 files cannot be embedded within the exe itself. What I'd like to know, is there a way I can embed/endcode the cvs string above in the python script, so that when that script is modified and checked into cvs, that the cvs header string above will not be modified by cvs? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
