Help Convert Module Pages to the New Module Library

Hi Joel,

@uckelman

Observations:

• The pre coming from this is never really part of the version:

    if m is not None and len(m.groups()) >= 1:
        pre = ('-' + m[1].strip().replace('-', '')) if len(m[1]) > 0 else ''
        base = m[2].strip()

The code in get_vmod_info.py (a slight misnomer) is not intended to be omnipotent. That’s why the code in get_vmod_info.py allows for an external file with overrides (e.g., files_override.json) to catch cases where the automatic parsing fails. The overrides file is automatically updated with entries when the code cannot parse a version string, and the user can then edit that file (search for unknown) to specify the correct version.

• Any pre of 30 characters or more is never really part of the verision.

The file files_meta.json contains the result of the version and file parsing. To see the converted version strings, do

from json import load

with open('files_meta.json','r') as f:
    j = load(f)
 
v = {f['version']: f['semVersion'] for f in j.values() if 'version' in f}

print(f'| {"From file":20s} {"Parsed":20s} '*2+'|')
print(f'|{"-"*43}'*2+'|\n|',end='',flush=True)
o=0
for i,(r,s) in enumerate(v.items()):
    l = f' {r:20s} {s:20s} |'
    if o+len(l) > 100:
        print('\n|',end='',flush=True)
        o = 0
    o += len(l)
    print(l,end='',flush=True)

Sure there are some problematic conversion, but it is easily fixable by adding entries to files_override.json. The point is to stage the conversion, so that the code - which cannot ever get it right all the time - can be assisted by a human in a simple and straight forward way

Yours,
Christian
