Fuck Python
By Xah Lee, 2012-04-08
fuck Python.
just fucking spend 2 hours and still going.
here's the short story.
so recently i switched to a Windows version of python. Now, Windows
version takes path using win backslash, instead of cygwin slash. This
fucking broke my find/replace scripts that takes a dir level as input.
Because i was counting slashes.
Ok no problem. My sloppiness. After all, my implementation wasn't
portable. So, let's fix it. After a while, discovered there's the
「os.sep」. Ok, replace 「"/"」 to 「os.sep」, done. Then, bang, all hell
went lose. Because, the backslash is used as escape in string, so any
regex that manipulate path got fucked majorly. So, now you need to
find a quoting mechanism. Then, fuck python doc incomprehensible
scattered comp-sci-r-us BNF shit. Then, fuck python for “os.path” and
“os” modules then string object and string functions inconsistent
ball. And FUCK Guido who wants to fuck change python for his idiotic
OOP concept of “elegance” so that some of these are deprecated.
So after several exploration of “repr()”, “format()”, “‹str›.count()”,
“os.path.normpath()”, “re.split()”, “len(re.search().group())” etc,
after a long time, let's use “re.escape()”. 2 hours has passed. Also,
discovered that “os.path.walk” is now deprecated, and one is supposed
to use the sparkling “os.walk”. In the process of refreshing my
python, the “os.path.walk” semantics is really one fucked up fuck.
Meanwhile, the “os.walk” went into incomprehensible OOP object and
iterators fuck.
now, it's close to 3 hours. This fix is supposed to be done in 10 min.
I'd have done it in elisp in just 10 minutes if not for my
waywardness.
This is Before
def process_file(dummy, current_dir, file_list):
current_dir_level = len(re.split("/", current_dir)) -
len(re.split("/", input_dir))
cur_file_level = current_dir_level+1
if min_level <= cur_file_level <= max_level:
for a_file in file_list:
if re.search(r"\.html$", a_file, re.U) and
os.path.isfile(current_dir + "/" + a_file):
replace_string_in_file(current_dir + "/" + a_file)
This is After

current_dir = os.path.normpath(current_dir)
