And for those that read comp.unix.shell, this is eligable for a UUOC
award[1] :) It could be written either as:

        sed 's,^,/whatever/,' < oldfile.py

or even:

        sed 's,^,/whatever/,' oldfile.py

And yes, I'd quote the sed operation for safety. Probably doesn't need it
though.

And I see most people decided to go through perl though. Don't many people
know the traditional tools of sed and awk any more? :) </rhetorical>
