What Python parser would you guys recommend?

Thanks.

Well, IDLE (that comes with the windows install of python) is not a bad one. You could also use a more traditional text editor like vi or emacs.

What does parser mean or imply these days?

Those are text editors.

Parser generators identify the grammar structure. These are parsers: http://wiki.python.org/moin/LanguageParsing

I don't really know much about them. That's why I'm looking into it :banana:

I think our friend is talking about a language parser written in Python.

Whoops... I think my reading comprehension skills are still in an early-morning stupor... :o

So... Any recommendations? That list probably has the most recent ones.

I'd recommend PyParsing. Search the forums for it, and you'll find a few of my posts on it. Nothing too detailed though, so you may be better off Googling the website.

The reason I like PyParsing is that it's simple, and relatively powerful. After messing around with JavaCC, Bison and Flex at Uni, PyParsing was a very welcome change.

Thanks. I was planning on looking into that or PyGgy (awesome name).

Documentation for pyparsing is sparse at best. It's good once you fiddle with it, but I thought it was the only major one available. That list shows otherwise. Will have a look too.
