I've renamed this project to dbpreproc and it's now hosted independently
on github:
https://github.com/anunuclear/dbpreproc
Sorry again to Goetz for inadvertantly reusing the 'pymsi' name.
Original announcement, redux:
> dbpreproc is a similar tool to "msi", it takes templated input databases
> and processes them to produce output databases. Some syntax is even
> identical. However, dbpreproc has several additional powerful features for
> compile-time database evaluation:
>
> - Components can be nested hierarchically, allowing individual
> databases to be very flexibly reused (the 'DRY' principle[1].)
>
> - Embedded database parser, verifies database syntax at compile time.
>
> - dbd verification allows every field in the database to be checked
> against the database definition at compile time, catch pesky errors
> and typos early.
>
> - Powerful macro expansion engine - local scopes, inline default values,
> errors on missing macros.
>
> - Automatic dependency generator for Makefile integration (changes to
> any subdatabase will cause make to automatically rebuild the parent
> database.)
>
> - Detailed error messages with accurate line & column numbers for quick
> and accurate debugging.
>
> - Easy integration with the EPICS build system.
