[Bf-committers] stupid little python project

[dreblen]

Hi,
I'm the author of the C patch, and I agree that python is the better 
route to go.
I didn't think to do it in python because I severely prefer C, and I'm 
not as experienced at python.
With that being said (that I'm not that great at python), I don't see 
what really needs to be finished in the python version
other than reopening the file for writing and writing to VERSION (and 
the fact that unkownversion is undefined).
So these are my changes: (not really a diff, but you get the idea)

 if minor and major:
-    print str(major)+"."+minor
+    outfile = open("VERSION", "w")
+    outfile.write(str(major)+"."+minor)
+    outfile.close()
 else:
-    print unkownversion
+    print "Unknown Version"

of course you could keep the "print str(major)+'.'+minor" in there, but 
it doesn't really matter ;)
