# Read #define's from stdin and translate to Python code on stdout.
# Very primitive: non-#define's are ignored, no check for valid Python
# syntax is made -- you will have to edit the output in most cases.

# XXX To do:
# - accept filename arguments
# - turn trailing C comments into Python comments
# - turn C string quotes into Python comments
# - turn C Boolean operators "&& || !" into Python "and or not"
# - what to do about #if(def)?
# - what to do about macros with parameters?
# - reject definitions with semicolons in them
