# Change the #! line occurring in Python scripts. The new interpreter
# pathname must be given with a -i option.
#
# Command line arguments are files or directories to be processed.
# Directories are searched recursively for files whose name looks
# like a python module.
# Symbolic links are always ignored (except as explicit directory
# arguments). Of course, the original file is kept as a back-up
# (with a "~" attached to its name).
#
# Undoubtedly you can do this using find and sed or perl, but this is
# a nice example of Python code that recurses down a directory tree
# and uses regular expressions. Also note several subtleties like
# preserving the file's mode and avoiding to even write a temp file
# when no changes are needed for a file.
#
# NB: by changing only the function fixfile() you can turn this
# into a program for a different change to Python programs...
