Hi all,

I'd like to use PLY to parse a grammar which includes multi-line
comments bounded by the '|' symbol.
The following scanner rule only works for single-line comments:

t_DOCSTRING = r'\|.*\|'

Anybody knows if it is possible to define multi-line tokens in
ply.lex? I also tried removing '\n' from t_ignore
and making it a special token (which I'm not sure is suitable for me,
since it would make the syntax rules
way too complicate), but still does not work.

BTW, the syntax I'm trying to parse is the one of 'Petal
files' (extension PTL). If anybody knows a module
that already does the job, I would appreciate a pointer to it :-)

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.


Ciao
