Hello all,

I'm a relative newbe  with antlr; have read most of the book and the  
website and done some experiments. Both with ANTLRWork and command  
line (yes I'm old fashioned:-)  But, as I'm not a native-java expert I  
like to use one of the other languages.  Most likely  python.

I have downloaded the (python) sources of  antlr. runtime (dir:  
antlr.src-runtime-python/), added that to sys.path and give it a try.
It complains about a version mismatch; which I fixed with changing the  
file 'antlr.src-runtime-python/__init__.py'
        WAS:                    __version__ = '3.1.3'
        BECOMES         __version__ = '3.2.0'
Now it runs ...

In this experiment however, I use a simple checker only: the python- 
main only calls the lexer and the parser;
no templates are used, no AST is build, no <<anything>>

My questions:

* Is the "fix" is did above correct. And should it work?
Or is/should the runtime of v312 and 32.*  really change.

* Does the python runtime support AST, template and all other nice  
features, mentioned in the book?
  Or should I use another language option. The website mentions in is  
beta, but soon to change; but that was way back

* If python is not really supported, which other languages are?
        Java, I assume;-)
        How about (ANSI) C, or C++?
        Or should I really stick to /learn java?

Thanks for the answers. Thanks for the Tool

PS, maybe it would help to put the status each langua on the website.

Note2, Sorry for posting to the wrong list first ...
