PythonでCopyrightを自動挿入

まず対象となるファイルを適当に作成します。
script.cpp

#include "headers.h"

bool CheckSig(vector<unsigned char> vchSig, vector<unsigned char> vchPubKey, CScript scriptCode, const CTransaction& txTo, unsigned int nIn, int nHashType);
file_name = './script.cpp'

with open(file_name) as f:
    data = f.readlines()

data.insert(1, '// Copyright (c) 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto\n')

with open(file_name, mode='w') as f:
    f.writelines(data)

これだと、全部書き変わってしまう…

copyright_header.pyだと、作者をファイルごとに定義しています。

COPYRIGHT_WITH_C = r'Copyright \(c\)'
COPYRIGHT_WITHOUT_C = 'Copyright'
ANY_COPYRIGHT_STYLE = '(%s|%s)' % (COPYRIGHT_WITH_C, COPYRIGHT_WITHOUT_C)

YEAR = "20[0-9][0-9]"
YEAR_RANGE = '(%s)(-%s)?' % (YEAR, YEAR)
YEAR_LIST = '(%s)(, %s)+' % (YEAR, YEAR)
ANY_YEAR_STYLE = '(%s|%s)' % (YEAR_RANGE, YEAR_LIST)
ANY_COPYRIGHT_STYLE_OR_YEAR_STYLE = ("%s %s" % (ANY_COPYRIGHT_STYLE,
                                                ANY_YEAR_STYLE))

ANY_COPYRIGHT_COMPILED = re.compile(ANY_COPYRIGHT_STYLE_OR_YEAR_STYLE)

def compile_copyright_regex(copyright_style, year_style, name):
    return re.compile(r'%s %s,? %s( +\*)?\n' % (copyright_style, year_style, name))

EXPECTED_HOLDER_NAMES = [
    r"Satoshi Nakamoto",
    r"The Bitcoin Core developers",
    r"BitPay Inc\.",
    r"University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\.",
    r"Pieter Wuille",
    r"Wladimir J\. van der Laan",
    r"Jeff Garzik",
    r"Jan-Klaas Kollhof",
    r"ArtForz -- public domain half-a-node",
    r"Intel Corporation ?",
    r"The Zcash developers",
    r"Jeremy Rubin",
]

f.writelines()ではなく、f.write(”.join())で関数と引数にして書いてます。

# read and write to file

def read_file_lines(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r', encoding="utf8") as f:
        file_lines = f.readlines()
    return file_lines

def write_file_lines(filename, file_lines):
    with open(filename, 'w', encoding="utf8") as f:
        f.write(''.join(file_lines))

なるほど、Pythonならギリまだいけるな..
