Old 11-09-2015
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Here is a snippet of what I did to help anyone else out who is trying to do the samething:
Code:
dest=open('wp.h', 'a+')
dest.write('struct {\n')
dest.write('{0:>12} {1:6}\n'.format('char','*name;'))
dest.write('{0:>12} {1:16}\n\n'.format('char','*fixed_versions;'))
dest.write('} filename_versions[] = {\n\n')
   blah blah blah .....
dest.write('{0:>19}\n'.format('{NULL, NULL}'))
dest.write('{0}\n'.format('};'))
dest.close()

A sample output:
Code:
struct {

        char *name;
        char *fixed_version;

} filename_versions[] = {

{"moses-red-sea","1.00.03"},
{"genesis-snake","2.03"},
{"deliverance","5.0.010"},
        {NULL, NULL}
};

strcpy

STRCPY(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							 STRCPY(3)

NAME

       strcpy, strncpy - copy a string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *strcpy(char *dest, const char *src);

       char *strncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The  strcpy() function copies the string pointed to by src (including the terminating `' character) to the array pointed to by dest.  The
       strings may not overlap, and the destination string dest must be large enough to receive the copy.

       The strncpy() function is similar, except that not more than n bytes of src are copied. Thus, if there is no null byte among  the  first  n
       bytes of src, the result will not be null-terminated.

       In the case where the length of src is less than that of n, the remainder of dest will be padded with nulls.

RETURN VALUE

       The strcpy() and strncpy() functions return a pointer to the destination string dest.

BUGS

       If  the	destination  string  of  a  strcpy() is not large enough (that is, if the programmer was stupid/lazy, and failed to check the size
       before copying) then anything might happen.  Overflowing fixed length strings is a favourite cracker technique.
