"""Split an mbox into two files based on a given percentage.
This script will troll through a Unix mbox file randomly assigning each
message to one of two bins. The split is based on a given float percentage.
E.g.
% split.py sourcembox 20 mbox20 mbox80
yields two mbox files, where mbox20 contains approximately 20% of the messages
and mbox80 contains 80% of the messages. Messages are assigned to each bin
randomly.
Usage: %(programs)s [options] sourcembox percent file1 file2
Options:
-h / --help
Print this help message and exit
file1 and file2 are where the output goes. Approximately percent % of
messages will go to file1 and (100 - percent) % of messages will go to file2.
percent is a floating point number between 1 and 99. sourcembox is a Unix
mailbox file. All arguments except -h/--help are required.
