Ok, Lars, the attached file, generate_contributions.py, is a python script that both stores and manipulates the raw data needed to create CREDITS, credits.php and blanket-permission.php
Usage:
$ python generate_contributions.py \
CREDITS2 \
credits2.php \
blanket-permission2.php
where the arguments are the names of the generated files.
The only problem I have is that I can't output CREDITS as latin1
because some of the entries won't convert. Changing this line:
txt_credits_data = unicode(as_txt_credits(contributers)).encode("utf-8")
to 'encode("latin1")' results in this exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate_contributions.py", line 1110, in ?
main(sys.argv)
File "generate_contributions.py", line 1097, in main
txt_credits_data =
unicode(as_txt_credits(contributers)).encode("latin1")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u011b' in
position 1729: ordinal not in range(256)
We're not ready to use CREDITS encoded in UTF-8 yet.
Any gurus got a python solution?
I know that I could pass the generated CREDITS file through recode but a
one-stop solution would be nice.
$ recode 'UTF-8..ISO-8859-1' < CREDITS2 > CREDITS3
$ diff -u CREDITS CREDITS3 | recode 'ISO-8859-1..UTF-8' | less
