Hi,

I am following this instruction:
http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/policy.html

Yes, I accept the above policy.

Yes, collaborative maintenance is preferred.

Here is what I want to package: https://github.com/guettli/reprec

    Up to now reprec contains these tools:

      * reprec: Replace strings in text files. Can work recursive in a
        directory tree
      * setops: Set operations (union, intersection, ...) for line based
        files.


Please consider motivating the packaging of this software, i.e. how it is 
potentially useful to Debian users, what is
the novelty versus other file processing tools, etc...



reprec: I like PCRE regular expressions. I read and write them fluently. Up to 
now I
don't know of a tool which does replace recursive (incl optional interactive) 
search and replace (and written in Python).

setops: I know the command line tool "comm". See 
http://www.catonmat.net/blog/set-operations-in-unix-shell/
For example I can read and type the following command line .... But is is no 
fun:
  comm -23 <(sort subset | uniq) <(sort set | uniq) | head -1
That's why I wrote setops: You don't need to sort and uniq. And expressions 
grouping with parenthesis ... I like it.

BTW, if I reply only to the personal address and not to the list, then please forgive me. Sometimes I forget to add "debian-python@lists.debian.org" to the recipient list.
