Make module executable (python -m pystdf) to start the scripts #10
Conversation
Also clean them up a bit, some were no longer working.
This allows to run any of the scripts ('txt', 'xml', 'xlsx', 'count', slice') by executing
python -m pystdf txt data.stdf
Building a source distribution is now functional again.

Sorry I missed this PR. I really like the modernized approach here. I'd just wonder about breaking existing users who depend on the installed scripts. Seems like a major version is needed here.
Some notes below. I wouldn't blame you for not fixing these, if anything they're a reminder to myself how I might shepherd these changes in, if you're all out of patience.

Some of these seem like format conversions (txt, xml, xlsx), slicing seems like an output option, and count seems like a summary function. Might be worth splitting these into different subcommands and option arguments.

These are better names, just noticing I also forgot to anchor the file extension. Total driveby.
It might also be reasonable to support stdin in the CLI, so one could pipe uncompressed output directly, without relying on this tool to do everything.

Looks like this auto-uncompressing logic is repeated several places. We might refactor that...
| f = open(filename, 'rb') | ||
| p=Parser(inp=f, reopen_fn=reopen_fn) | ||
| p.addSink(RecordIndexer()) | ||
| f = open(file_name, 'rb') |

We should be using with open(...) as f here and everywhere else we open files in this project.
On Windows, using the shebang (
#!/usr/bin/env python) does not always work (especially with Python releases that are installed in 'portable' fashion).This branch adds a
__main__.pyto make the module executable (python -m pystdf) and moves the scripts inside the main module folder so that they can be run though the module execution.Examples:
Some of the scripts did not run, these are fixed.
Building an sdist package is still possible.
Not tested on Python 2.7 since pystdf seems to be Python 3.x only.
