PyBison is a Python binding to the Bison (yacc) and Flex (lex)
|
|
parser-generator utilities.
|
|
|
|
It allows parsers to be quickly and easily developed as Python class
|
|
declarations, and for these parsers to take advantage of the fast and
|
|
powerful C-based Bison/Flex.
|
|
|
|
Users write a subclass of a basic Parser object, containing a set of methods
|
|
and attributes specifying the grammar and lexical analysis rules, and taking
|
|
callbacks for providing parser input, and receiving parser target events.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
* Runs at near the speed of C-based parsers, due to direct hooks into
|
|
bison-generated C code
|
|
* Full LALR(1) grammar support
|
|
* Includes a utility to convert your legacy grammar (.y) and scanner (.l)
|
|
scripts into python modules compatible with PyBison
|
|
* Easy to understand - the walkthrough and the examples will have you
|
|
writing your own parsers in minutes
|
|
* Comfortable and intuitive callback mechanisms
|
|
* Can export parse tree to XML with a simple method call
|
|
* Can reconstitute a parse tree from XML
