Does python have an equivalent to Perl's inplace-edit variable $^I? For example, the following perl code below changes mike to dave in a file that is passed as an argument.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
#chgit script
$^I = '';
while(<>) {
s/mike/dave/g;
print;
}
The script would be used as below:
chgit somefile
Afterward, all instances of mike are changed to dave.
Thanks.
Mike
