# The previous cleanup function is potentially dangerous in an environment where you could have filenames with spaces.
# The safest pattern when using the find... xargs combo is to use null-terminators for filenames, i.e.
`find ... -print0 | xargs -0 ...`:

cleanup () {
    find . -type f -name '*~' -or -name '*.pyc' -or -name '#*#' -or -name '.*~' -or -name '.#*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
    clear
