Integration Nemo file manager with massren for bulk renaming (https://github.com/laurent22/massren)

massren-nemo.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from re import sub as rereplace, compile as recompile

To integrate "Rename..." / "F2" of nemo with massren when multiple files are selected:

1. Copy massren-nemo.py to a desired folder (e.g. ~/scripts/) and make it executable (chmod +x massren-nemo.py)
2. In the python script replace {path-to-massren} with the actual path of massren executable. (it should be at $GOPATH/bin/)
3. Open up nemo, in menus select Edit -> Preferences; in the opened window select Behavior tab. The last option is Bulk Rename and set the command to the absolute path of the python script (e.g. {your-home}/scripts/massren-nemo.py).
