Meta Configuration of Package python-grin

<package name="python-grin" project="devel:languages:python:misc">
  <title>A grep program configured the way I like it.</title>
  <description>I wrote grin to help me search directories full of source code. The venerable
GNU grep_ and find_ are great tools, but they fall just a little short for my
normal use cases.

I wrote grin to get exactly the features I wanted:

* Recurse directories by default.
  * Do not go into directories with specified names.
  * Do not search files with specified extensions.
  * Be able to show context lines before and after matched lines.
  * Python regex syntax (one can quibble as to whether this is a feature or my
    laziness for using the regex library provided with my implementation
    language, but as a Python programmer, this is the syntax I am most familiar
    with).
  * Unless suppressed via a command line option, display the filename regardless
    of the number of files.
  * Accept a file (or stdin) with a list of newline-separated filenames. This
    allows one to use find_ to feed grin a list of filenames which might have
    embedded spaces quite easily.
  * Grep through gzipped text files.
  * Be useful as a library to build custom tools quickly.
