# munger.py - version 0.0.1
##

# a dead simple library for munging text streams; a pythonic answer to grep, sed
# and friends.
#
# convert a file's line endings:
# >>> Munger.open('/path/to/file').substitute(r"\r$", "").write()
#
# watch access logs for 404s:
# >>> m = munger.Munger.tail('access_log')
# >>> m.split().keep_if_field_matches(8, '404').field(6).display()
#
# find number of words containing "abc":
# >>> Munger.open('/usr/share/dict/words').keep_if_contains('abc').count()
#
# see modest test suite in munger_test.py for more basic examples of use.
