How to approach modifying source code programmatically?
While you can do this using ANTLR or any other lexing/parsing tool, it's honestly a bit of a pain. Whitespace and comments can go almost anywhere, even in the middle of expressions, so the grammar ends up becoming fairly messy. So, I'd recommend using a library that handles this for you, if at all possible. For example, if I wanted to code-mod Python I'd prob just use the LibCST library.

How to handle line endings when writing files depending on OS?
I've been roughly copying some of the logic from the LibCST project. This struct in particular- https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST/blob/main/native/libcst/src/tokenizer/text_position/char_width.rs does a good job of normalizing the line endings of a str. The long way around you could mimic this construct, transform the str to normalized line endings, and then split on "\n" or make a somewhat more complicated transformer which turns a large str into a Vec (or Vec).

We're the core team behind the popular Python autoformatter: Black. AMA!
I myself am working on upgrading LibCST's parser engine to support the new syntax, and then am hoping we can rewrite Black's formatting rules in terms of LibCST's API. That's not a small amount of work, which is why we can't confidently say that's going to be the way forward.
