Greetings all,
I am a new subscriber to this list, and a novice Python user. Is this the
correct place to ask for advice on Python-programming?
I want to write a parser for BibTeX. A BibTeX file is a collection of
entries that look like this:
@book {Daniel04,
title = "My Title",
publisher = {Some publisher Inc.},
volume = 2,
year = 2004
}
Can anyone recommend a parser generator for Python? I have been
programming for a few years, but I have never made a parser. I only have
a vague notion of what a lexer and a grammar are. Is there a resource
that you might recommend?
Thanks you for your time.
Cheers,
--

I've had good luck with PLY ( http://systems.cs.uchicago.edu/ply/).

You should probably look at Greg Ward's btOOL
( http://www.gerg.ca/software/btOOL/), which includes C and Perl parsers for
BibTeX. Unfortunately the software predates Greg's use of Python, so
there's no Python support.

The cl-bibtex project implements readers and writers for BibTeX formatted
files in Common Lisp, which is a closer to Python than C or Perl: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/cl-bibtex/ This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

There seems to be no XML parser that can do validation in
the Python Standard Libraries. And I am stuck with Python
2.1.1. until my web master upgrades (I use Python for
CGI). I know pyXML has validating parsers, but I can not
compile things on the (unix) webserver. And even if I
could, the compiler I have access to would be different
than what was used to compile python for CGI.
I need to write a CGI script that does XML validation...

Hi!
What are the difference between xml.parsers.expat
and xml.sax?
Up to now I used xml.sax.make_parser and subclass
from ContentHandler.
I think xml.sax.make_parser uses expat as default.
Why should I want to use xml.parsers.expat?

Hi,
I am using PLY (Python-Lex-Yacc) to write my parsers. However, it seems
to me that PLY is using comments (especially multiline comments) in the
Yacc component such as
def p_expression(p):
'''expression : term PLUS term'''

Hello!
I'm new to this list, so please be gentle. :)
I've been scouring the net for an answer to this, as well as trying to get
a little demo running, but to no avail, so I'm going to plead some help
from the court, about a multithreading C++, which embeds Python parsers..
Hopefully I'm dumb, and it's an easy answer. :)
So, here goes:

A few days ago there was a discussion about which XML parser to use with
Python.
However, the discussion didn't cover validating parsers, at least, not
w3.org XML Schemas.
I looked into all the parsers that came up in the discussion but found no
mention of w3.org schemas.
It seems there are a few DTD validating parsers but that's all.

Hi, c.l.p.'ers-
I am having a problem with the import of xml.parsers.expat that has
gotten me completely stumped. I have two programs, one a PyQt program
and one a command line (text) program that both eventually call the
same code that imports xml.parsers.expat. Both give me different
results...
The code that gets called is (print statements have been added for
debugging):

Greetings,
welcome back at the sequel of the parsers article chapter. This part is dedicated
to the ExpressionParser, the largest parser class for our little language.
This class parses a complete expression and just like the other parser classes
calls the Generator on the fly. When the parse has completed successfully, the
generated code is returned. Otherwise the parse is aborted and an exception is
thrown telling the reason of the...

Greetings,
this week's article part discusses the parsers used for our little language.
We will implement the parsers according to the grammar rules we defined in
the second part of this article. As you will see shortly, the implementation
of the parsers is an almost one-to-one translation of those grammar rules.
Recursive descent parsing
The grammar rules are highly recursive, i.e. one rule mentions another rule

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
