1"""Conversion pipeline templates.
2
3The problem:
4------------
5
6Suppose you have some data that you want to convert to another format,
7such as from GIF image format to PPM image format.  Maybe the
8conversion involves several steps (e.g. piping it through compress or
9uuencode).  Some of the conversion steps may require that their input
10is a disk file, others may be able to read standard input; similar for
11their output.  The input to the entire conversion may also be read
12from a disk file or from an open file, and similar for its output.
13
14The module lets you construct a pipeline template by sticking one or
15more conversion steps together.  It will take care of creating and
16removing temporary files if they are necessary to hold intermediate
17data.  You can then use the template to do conversions from many
18different sources to many different destinations.  The temporary
19file names used are different each time the template is used.
20
21The templates are objects so you can create templates for many
22different conversion steps and store them in a dictionary, for
23instance.
24
25
26Directions:
27-----------
28
29To create a template:
30    t = Template()
31
32To add a conversion step to a template:
33   t.append(command, kind)
34where kind is a string of two characters: the first is '-' if the
35command reads its standard input or 'f' if it requires a file; the
36second likewise for the output. The command must be valid /bin/sh
37syntax.  If input or output files are required, they are passed as
38$IN and $OUT; otherwise, it must be  possible to use the command in
39a pipeline.
40
41To add a conversion step at the beginning:
42   t.prepend(command, kind)
43
44To convert a file to another file using a template:
45  sts = t.copy(infile, outfile)
46If infile or outfile are the empty string, standard input is read or
47standard output is written, respectively.  The return value is the
48exit status of the conversion pipeline.
49
50To open a file for reading or writing through a conversion pipeline:
51   fp = t.open(file, mode)
52where mode is 'r' to read the file, or 'w' to write it -- just like
53for the built-in function open() or for os.popen().
54
55To create a new template object initialized to a given one:
56   t2 = t.clone()
