I am in debt with you of an answer on " my" solution in removing literal strings... I apologize not to have followed your suggestions but I am just learning Python, and your approach was too difficult for me! I've already developed the cross reference tool, and for that I identified two types of literals (the standard one which I named in general s~ and the multi-line or triple quoted strins, which I called m~).
You can see a step in my appproach to the solution in an answer to Fredrik Lundh http://groups.google.it/groups?q=qwweeeit&hl=it&lr=&group=comp.lang.python.*&selm=2ab23d7a.0503190647.2c15c281%40posting.google.com&rnum=2 After that I have almost completed the application, and better than explanations you can see the result (a small extract). 052 PROGNAME: PROGNAME = sys.argv[0] 053 AUTHOR: AUTHOR = us~.encode(s~) 054 VERSION: VERSION = s~ 056 URL_BASE: URL_BASE = s~ 057 OUTPUT_HTML: OUTPUT_HTML = s~ etc... The cross references are mainly useful for variables, but I use them also for Python reserved words, to learn the language and also classes and functions. For small applications there is no need for my toool, but with a source of almost 1 Mb... (like Pysol). Excuse if I don't go deeper in my solution for removing strings, but it is so standard that there is nothing to learn ... Bye. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
