Hi.
It seems that those scripts only work on Python versions 2.6 - 2.7?
I took a quick look and I found Python 3.x is not comatible 2.x at all.
3.x requires the "print" is called like print(msg, file=sys.stderr) but it failes in Python 2.7.x.
Last time I checked the print function, it worked with parenthesis on both versions 2.7 and 3.x.
Moreover, "except ... , ..." fails in 3.x while "except ... as ..." fails in 2.5 or earlier.
If the compatibility with python 3 is the requirement, I can't do this. I must throw Python scripts away.
I think we'd better replace these with something more stable in terms of API... bash? perl?
I don't think API is an argument against python, we just need /usr/bin/env python2 as how we invoke our scripts.
The question is, what helper scripts do we really need to have around and expect many people to use.
