+"""Converts a given gypi file to a python scope and writes the result to stdout.
+
+It is assumed that the file contains a toplevel dictionary, and this script
+will return that dictionary as a GN "scope" (see example below). This script
+does not know anything about GYP and it will not expand variables or execute
+conditions (it will check for the presence of a "conditions" value in the
+dictionary and will abort if it is present). It also does not support nested
+dictionaries.
+
+Say your_file.gypi looked like this:
+  {
+     'sources': [ 'a.cc', 'b.cc' ],
+     'defines': [ 'ENABLE_DOOM_MELON' ],
+  }
+
+You would call it like this:
+  gypi_values = exec_script("//build/gypi_to_gn.py",
+                            [ rebase_path("your_file.gypi") ],
+                            "scope",
+                            [ "your_file.gypi" ])
+
+Notes:
+ - The rebase_path call converts the gypi file from being relative to the
+   current build file to being system absolute for calling the script, which
+   will have a different current directory than this file.
+
+ - The "scope" parameter tells GN to interpret the result as a series of GN
+   variable assignments.
+
+ - The last file argument to exec_script tells GN that the given file is a
+   dependency of the build so Ninja can automatically re-run GN if the file
+   changes.
+
+Read the values into a target like this:
+  component("mycomponent") {
+    sources = gypi_values.sources
+    defines = gypi_values.defines
+  }
+
+Sometimes your .gypi file will include paths relative to a different
+directory than the current .gn file. In this case, you can rebase them to
+be relative to the current directory.
+  sources = rebase_path(gypi_values.sources, ".",
+                        "//path/gypi/input/values/are/relative/to")
