Small python script to rearrange channels.conf.

[Carsten Koch <CarstenKochElsdorf@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I wrote a small python script that helps me
keep my channels.conf tidy.

The scripts assumes that I have
(among others) channel groups
":HDTV", ":Deutschsprachig",
":(auch)Englisch", ":Verschiedenes",
":Astra Radio" and ":new channels"
at the end.

It moves all radio channels from
all groups into ":Astra Radio".

It moves channels that have
a HD in their name from ":new channels"
to ":HDTV".

It moves channels that have
geman sound from ":new channels"
to ":Deutschsprachig".

It moves channels that do not have
german sound, but english sound
from ":new channels" to ":(auch)Englisch".

All other new channels are moved from
":new channels" to ":Verschiedenes".

It ignores all non-"S19.2E" channels
(see my other posting).

Finally, all channel groups are sorted
alphabetically.

The script/program is a filter, so
you can do things like
   python sort_channels.py <channels.conf>channels.new

Cheers,
Carsten.
