#!/usr/bin/env/ python

# This script rewrites the novel by replacing the name of the principal 
# character in the novel by another name.  
# It writes the new version of novel to a file called starring_me.txt and to a Logbook in Context
# The idea for this script comes from the book 'Think Python'.
