+"""text_file
+
+provides the TextFile class, which gives an interface to text files
+that (optionally) takes care of stripping comments, ignoring blank
+lines, and joining lines with backslashes."""
+
+import sys
+
+
+class TextFile:
+    """Provides a file-like object that takes care of all the things you
+    commonly want to do when processing a text file that has some
+    line-by-line syntax: strip comments (as long as "#" is your
+    comment character), skip blank lines, join adjacent lines by
+    escaping the newline (ie. backslash at end of line), strip
+    leading and/or trailing whitespace.  All of these are optional
+    and independently controllable.
+
+    Provides a 'warn()' method so you can generate warning messages that
+    report physical line number, even if the logical line in question
+    spans multiple physical lines.  Also provides 'unreadline()' for
+    implementing line-at-a-time lookahead.
+
+    Constructor is called as:
+
+        TextFile (filename=None, file=None, **options)
+
+    It bombs (RuntimeError) if both 'filename' and 'file' are None;
+    'filename' should be a string, and 'file' a file object (or
+    something that provides 'readline()' and 'close()' methods).  It is
+    recommended that you supply at least 'filename', so that TextFile
+    can include it in warning messages.  If 'file' is not supplied,
+    TextFile creates its own using 'io.open()'.
+
+    The options are all boolean, and affect the value returned by
+    'readline()':
+      strip_comments [default: true]
+        strip from "#" to end-of-line, as well as any whitespace
+        leading up to the "#" -- unless it is escaped by a backslash
+      lstrip_ws [default: false]
+        strip leading whitespace from each line before returning it
+      rstrip_ws [default: true]
+        strip trailing whitespace (including line terminator!) from
+        each line before returning it
+      skip_blanks [default: true}
+        skip lines that are empty *after* stripping comments and
+        whitespace.  (If both lstrip_ws and rstrip_ws are false,
+        then some lines may consist of solely whitespace: these will
+        *not* be skipped, even if 'skip_blanks' is true.)
+      join_lines [default: false]
+        if a backslash is the last non-newline character on a line
+        after stripping comments and whitespace, join the following line
+        to it to form one "logical line"; if N consecutive lines end
+        with a backslash, then N+1 physical lines will be joined to
+        form one logical line.
+      collapse_join [default: false]
+        strip leading whitespace from lines that are joined to their
+        predecessor; only matters if (join_lines and not lstrip_ws)
+      errors [default: 'strict']
+        error handler used to decode the file content
+
+    Note that since 'rstrip_ws' can strip the trailing newline, the
+    semantics of 'readline()' must differ from those of the builtin file
+    object's 'readline()' method!  In particular, 'readline()' returns
+    None for end-of-file: an empty string might just be a blank line (or
+    an all-whitespace line), if 'rstrip_ws' is true but 'skip_blanks' is
+    not."""
