[EDIT] FILE: fixnotice.py

#! /usr/bin/python2.7

"""(Ostensibly) fix copyright notices in files.

Actually, this script will simply replace a block of text in a file from one
string to another.  It will only do this once though, i.e. not globally
throughout the file.  It writes a backup file and then does an os.rename()
dance for atomicity.

Usage: fixnotices.py [options] [filenames]
Options:
    -h / --help
        Print this message and exit

--oldnotice=file
        Use the notice in the file as the old (to be replaced) string, instead
        of the hard coded value in the script.

--newnotice=file
        Use the notice in the file as the new (replacement) string, instead of
        the hard coded value in the script.

--dry-run
        Don't actually make the changes, but print out the list of files that
        would change.  When used with -v, a status will be printed for every
        file.

-v / --verbose
        Print a message for every file looked at, indicating whether the file
        is changed or not.
