"""The Python module redentABQ is a wrapper around the Python redent module. The module 
makes the indentation in a Python text file consistent. 
The module can be run as a script from a command prompt using the following statement: 
abaqus Python -m redentABQ [options] pathToFile 
where the following options are available to customize the redentABQ process: 
- `-b`: Create a backup of the selected file if any modifications are made. 
- `-i`: Specify a number of spaces to be used for indentation. 
- `-t`: Test the newly indented file after any changes are made. 
For more information on running the **abaqus Python** execution procedure, see Python 
execution.
