No new features?!?!? What's wrong with you man! :-). In all seriousness though, I consider PLY to be fairly stable as a project so I don't really have a list of new features either. My one big wish-list item is that I really want to change the internal implementation to make better use of iterators and generators. For example, I think the lexer should be a generator that emits a stream of tokens. It should then be possible to process/filter that stream with other generators/iterators as needed (for example, using various functions in itertools). The only reason PLY doesn't use generators is that they didn't exist when it was first written (2001). The only other big feature is that I might get around to finishing is the ply/cpp.py module (currently about 95% implemented). What is the cpp.py module you ask? Well, it's eventually going to be a fully working C preprocessor--complete with support for macros and everything else. I'd like to finish it simply because having a pure Python C preprocessor would be cool. Cheers, Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ply-hack" group.
