[Pythonmac-SIG] Python Metadata Importer

[Jonathan Wight]

After adding Gideon's suggestion for CRLF ending file. My importer is  
failing on only 8 files out of 3084 files.

All the failures are with Python files that try to generate the  
__version__ attribute with code instead, e.g.:

__version__ = string.split('$Revision: 1.8 $')[1]
__version__ = '$Revision: 1.6 $'[11:-2]

And so on.

My options are:

#1 Continue to fail and not process the script any further (easiest  
solution ;-)
#2 Just ignore the attribute in question.
#3 Convert the attribute into a string even though it might not make  
much sense.
#4 Execute the line and get the computed value of the attribute.

I don't really want to execute the line - who the heck knows what it  
could do. Unless anyone has any better ideas I'm just going to try  
and gracefully ignore the attribute.

     Jon.
