PLY is a zero-dependency Python implementation of the traditional
|
|
parsing tools lex and yacc. It uses the same LALR(1) parsing algorithm
|
|
as yacc and has most of its core features. It is compatible with all
|
|
modern versions of Python.
|
|
|
|
PLY was originally created in 2001 to support an Introduction to
|
|
Compilers course at the University of Chicago. As such, it has almost
|
|
no features other than the core LALR(1) parsing algorithm. This is by
|
|
design--students should be made to suffer. Well, at least a little
|
|
bit. However, from a more practical point of view, there is a lot
|
|
flexibility in terms of how you decide to use it. You can use PLY to
|
|
build Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), simple one-pass compilers,
|
|
protocol decoders, or even a more advanced parsing framework.
