[sword-devel] A call for Python programmers ...

[DM Smith]

usfm2osis was originally written in perl. Chris re-wrote it in python. It has progressed/diverged significantly since then.

In Him,

> Hi David .....  I'm very interested in this project.  I looked at it a year or so ago when I filed one of the issues you mention.  I took a careful look through usfm2osis.pl.  I have never worked in Perl (usfm2osis is not Python).  But the syntax is so similar to C that I could get my head around it given time.  However, I took one look at the regular expression stuff and gave up.  I found it totally mind boggling.  Maybe it's easier than it looks.
