Use Forward to create a recursive grammar. Look at the examples page
on the pyparsing wiki, and there should be several samples of
recursive grammars.
Here is a very simple recursive grammar, with no precedence to your
operators:
from pyparsing import oneOf, alphas, Forward, ZeroOrMore, Group,
Optional
var = oneOf(list(alphas))
op = oneOf(r"\/ /\ -> ==")
expr = Forward()
expr << Optional('!') + ( var | Group('(' + expr + ')') ) +
ZeroOrMore(op + expr)
test = "(P \/ Q) -> S == S"
print expr.parseString(test).asList()
prints:
[['(', 'P', '\\/', 'Q', ')'], '->', 'S', '==', 'S']
Since these kinds of expressions are common, pyparsing includes a
helper method for defining precedence of operations infix notation:
from pyparsing import operatorPrecedence, opAssoc
expr = operatorPrecedence(var,
[
(r'!', 1, opAssoc.RIGHT),
(r'\/', 2, opAssoc.LEFT),
(r'/\\', 2, opAssoc.LEFT),
(r'->', 2, opAssoc.LEFT),
(r'==', 2, opAssoc.LEFT),
])
print expr.parseString(test).asList()
prints:
[[[['P', '\\/', 'Q'], '->', 'S'], '==', 'S']]
