[sword-devel] Help converting text to imp

[Greg Hellings]

Python could also easily be used. Not that this would work, but here's
the skeleton code

import fileinput
import Sword

mgr = Sword.SWMgr()
mod = mgr.getModule('KJV')
key = mod.getKey()
for line in fileinput.input():
  print "$$$%s\n%s" % (key.toString(), line)
  key.increment()

I forget the exact method call that converts a key into its string
representation, but it's something like that.  You then would execute
the above script like so:

./convert.py test.vpl

and its output should be in imp format.
