pyparsing module - Classes and methods to define and execute parsing grammars



The pyparsing module is an alternative approach to creating and executing simple grammars, 

vs. the traditional lex/yacc approach, or the use of regular expressions.  With pyparsing, you

don't need to learn a new syntax for defining grammars or matching expressions - the parsing module 

provides a library of classes that you use to construct the grammar directly in Python.



Here is a program to parse "Hello, World!" (or any greeting of the form "<salutation>, <addressee>!")::



    from pyparsing import Word, alphas

    

    # define grammar of a greeting

    greet = Word( alphas ) + "," + Word( alphas ) + "!" 

    

    hello = "Hello, World!"

    print hello, "->", greet.parseString( hello )



The program outputs the following::



    Hello, World! -> ['Hello', ',', 'World', '!']



The Python representation of the grammar is quite readable, owing to the self-explanatory 

class names, and the use of '+', '|' and '^' operators.



The parsed results returned from parseString() can be accessed as a nested list, a dictionary, or an 

object with named attributes.



The pyparsing module handles some of the problems that are typically vexing when writing text parsers:

 - extra or missing whitespace (the above program will also handle "Hello,World!", "Hello  ,  World  !", etc.)

 - quoted strings

 - embedded comments
