c header to python

h2py.py

#! /usr/bin/env python

# Cool script, stolen from:
# https://hg.python.org/cpython/log/70274d53c1dd/Tools/scripts/h2py.py

# Read #define's and translate to Python code.
# Handle #include statements.
# Handle #define macros with one argument.
# Anything that isn't recognized or doesn't translate into valid
# Python is ignored.

# Without filename arguments, acts as a filter.
# If one or more filenames are given, output is written to corresponding
# filenames in the local directory, translated to all uppercase, with
# the extension replaced by ".py".

# By passing one or more options of the form "-i regular_expression"
# you can specify additional strings to be ignored.  This is useful
# e.g. to ignore casts to u_long: simply specify "-i '(u_long)'".

# XXX To do:
# - turn trailing C comments into Python comments
# - turn C Boolean operators "&& || !" into Python "and or not"
# - what to do about #if(def)?
# - what to do about macros with multiple parameters?
