Zim Zim Python Python Fix Fix

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.04 and it comes with some changes. Zim wiki is now completely python and much faster and clearly cleaner and more attractive. Thunderbird 3 is also very nice. Upgrade went easily, but some questions were difficult, like: "The quantum entanglement of multiple simultaneous realities has caused a Gamma Ray Burst, continue, Yes or No".

It seems that the equation references in Zim are slightly different and so I devised this little tidbit to bring harmony back to the universe of Zim, Zimpy, and perhaps python itself. The point of this is to take {{./Dir/equation_xx}} and convert it to {{./equation_xx}}. I could have used grep, sed, awk or C, but python is a clean language and I think it is more understandable when viewed by others.

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os.path
import sys

# If there is more than one reference on a line in the Zim it will require that the script be run once for each level. 
#I could just iterate a few times, but it is easy enough to hit up arrow in terminal and run again
#I am also limiting the location to within media just to make sure it doesn't go awry in my root directory
#This is GPL code if you have any question what that means : 
#         Return to your home planet and never visit Earth again!!
#Use at your own risk, code provided as example only
