Description-en: Lex and Yacc implementation for Python2
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.
