Another one for the category 'remainder-to-self' or 'write-it-on-a-sticky-note-somewhere'.
Parsing a subversion Id keyword is just a matter of some regular expression magic:
# use the built in regular expression library import re # the subversion Id keyword svnid = '$Id: svnidparse.py 1234 2008-02-19 09:59:27Z joske $' # bow for the mighty regular expression svnidrep = r'^\$Id: (?P<filename>.+) (?P<revision>\d+) (?P<date>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{1,2}) (?P<time>\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})Z (?P<user>\w+) \$$' # parse the svn Id mo = re.match(svnidrep, svnid) # use it, like for example: print 'this is %s - revision %s (%s)' % mo.group('filename', 'revision', 'date')
hmm, calling it "black magic" would be better, probably.
