# Conversion pipeline templates
# =============================
# The problem:
# ------------
#
# Suppose you have some data that you want to convert to another format
# (e.g. from GIF image format to PPM image format). Maybe the
# conversion involves several steps (e.g. piping it through compress or
# uuencode). Some of the conversion steps may require that their input
# is a disk file, others may be able to read standard input; similar for
# their output. The input to the entire conversion may also be read
# from a disk file or from an open file, and similar for its output.
#
# The module lets you construct a pipeline template by sticking one or
# more conversion steps together. It will take care of creating and
# removing temporary files if they are necessary to hold intermediate
# data. You can then use the template to do conversions from many
# different sources to many different destinations. The temporary
# file names used are different each time the template is used.
#
# The templates are objects so you can create templates for many
# different conversion steps and store them in a dictionary, for
# instance.
# Directions:
# -----------
#
# To create a template:
# t = Template().init()
#
# To add a conversion step to a template:
# t.append(command, kind)
# where kind is a string of two characters: the first is '-' if the
# command reads its standard input or 'f' if it requires a file; the
# second likewise for the output. The command must be valid /bin/sh
# syntax. If input or output files are required, they are passed as
# $IN and $OUT; otherwise, it must be possible to use the command in
# a pipeline.
#
# To add a conversion step at the beginning:
# t.prepend(command, kind)
#
# To convert a file to another file using a template:
# sts = t.copy(infile, outfile)
# If infile or outfile are the empty string, standard input is read or
# standard output is written, respectively. The return value is the
# exit status of the conversion pipeline.
#
# To open a file for reading or writing through a conversion pipeline:
# fp = t.open(file, mode)
# where mode is 'r' to read the file, or 'w' to write it -- just like
# for the built-in function open() or for os.popen().
#
# To create a new template object initialized to a given one:
# t2 = t.clone()
#
# For an example, see the function test() at the end of the file.
