Drake, Jr. + + +This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of internal +nodes of the parse tree. Unlike most Python constants, these use lower-case +names. Refer to the file :file:`Grammar/Grammar` in the Python distribution for +the definitions of the names in the context of the language grammar. The +specific numeric values which the names map to may change between Python +versions. + +This module also provides one additional data object: + + +.. data:: sym_name + + Dictionary mapping the numeric values of the constants defined in this module + back to name strings, allowing more human-readable representation of parse trees + to be generated. + + +.. seealso:: + + Module :mod:`parser` + The second example for the :mod:`parser` module shows how to use the + :mod:`symbol` module. +
