Upload to PyPI about topy HOT 4 CLOSED

True. It needs some cleanup and improvement first before I dare to put it on PyPI though. It probably should not overwrite files by default.

This project was simply an evening hack and there are many problems with it. The biggest one is that Python's regexp engine shows its limitations compared to the .NET one used in AutoWikiBrowser. Perhaps it would best be rewritten in another language with a more flexible regexp implementation. There are are two issues that stick out:

• 15% of rules fail to compile with the error "look-behind requires fixed-width pattern". This restriction seems to be by design and unlikely to be removed.
• When substituting a regexp with optional groups, Python can throw an "unmatched group" error instead of replacing with an empty string. This could be worked around using a custom substitution function I guess. http://bugs.python.org/issue1519638

Since pull request #6 has solved the regex engine issues and commit 90c1ade fixes the overwriting behavior, there's nothing preventing a PyPI release anymore. I'm hoping to get to that this weekend.
