For tmux configs: Merge deprecated/removed -fg, -bg, and -attr options into the -style option
#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim: set fileencoding=utf-8
#
# USAGE:
# Back up your tmux old config, run the script and redirect stdout to your conf
# file. Example:
#
# $ cp ~/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf.orig
# $ python ./tmux-migrate-options.py ~/.tmux.conf.orig > ~/.tmux.conf
#
#
# PURPOSE:
# This script accepts the path to a tmux conf file to read, then combines the
# deprecated -fg, -bg, and -attr options into the new -style option, and
# prints the updated tmux conf to stdout. The deprecated options were flagged
# for removal in tmux v1.9, and then removed in tmux v2.9 years later.
#
# The script will place the new "-style" option at the location of the last
# matching prefix for that option family. This means if your config file had
# a triplet of "window-status-bg", "window-status-fg", and "window-status-attr"
# settings, they will be merged into one line at that location with the option
# "window-status-style bg=...,fg=...,<attr>", in that order.
#
# If your config file has duplicate settings for, say, -fg, they will all
# appear on the same -style option line, in the same order which should give
# the same effect as before.
#
# The parser used here is a naive regex which should be enough for most configs.
# There is *no effort* to handle tmux conditional lines or cases where you
# already have -style options as well as old -fg, -bg, -attr options.
# If you rely on those to set colors and styles, then you may want to avoid
# this script as it will break your config.

Thank you. tmux devs should have provided a migration util like this instead of blaming the users.

Very nice.
Verified to work on both tmux 3.0a on Ubuntu 20.04 and tmux 2.7 on Centos 8.
