I have a situation where in a directory tree I want to change a certain string in all files where that string occurs.
My idea was to do - os.scandir and for each file - check if a file is a text file - if it is not a text file skip that file - change the string as often as it occurs in that file What is the best way to check if a file is a text file? In a script I could use the `file` command which is not ideal as I have to grep the result. In Perl I could do -T file. How to do best in Python? -- Thanks, Manfred -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
