+"""
+Temporary solution to fix the .json result files created from lgbm_mb.py.
+The result files are in an incompatible format for report_generator.py.
+Attempts to produce xlsx reports fail and create empty files.
+
+After running this script on my-file.json, a new file my-file-fixed.json will be
+produced, containing a JSON version of the results in a compatible format.
+
+Usage:
+
+  python fix-lgbm-mb-results.py my-file.json [another-file.json ...]
+
+
+Note: This is just a quick and dirty hack that does not fix the underlying
+      issue. Rather than changing this file (if something breaks again), the
+      original script lgbm_mb.py should be updated such that it produces valid
+      JSON dumps again.
