Python Lex & Yacc

Project description

PLY is yet another implementation of lex and yacc for Python. Although several other parsing tools are available for Python, there are several reasons why you might want to take a look at PLY:

It’s implemented entirely in Python.

It uses LR-parsing which is reasonably efficient and well suited for larger grammars.

PLY provides most of the standard lex/yacc features including support for empty productions, precedence rules, error recovery, and support for ambiguous grammars.

PLY is extremely easy to use and provides very extensive error checking.
