PLY is a Python-only implementation of the popular compiler construction
|
||
|
tools lex and yacc. The implementation borrows ideas from a number of
|
||
|
previous efforts; most notably John Aycock's SPARK toolkit. However, the
|
||
|
overall flavor of the implementation is more closely modeled after the C
|
||
|
version of lex and yacc. The other significant feature of PLY is that it
|
||
|
provides extensive input validation and error reporting--much more so than
|
||
|
other Python parsing tools.
