Do you mean parsers written in Python for processing text files? A grammar is usually an abstract specification of a format, not something that will actually process the format. There are many add-on packages for writing parsers in Python. A good list is here: http://nedbatchelder.com/text/python-parsers.html IMO pyparsing is one of the easiest to use. It comes with many examples: http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/ One of the pyparsing examples parses grammar descriptions in Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF) and produces a pyparsing parser for the grammar: http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/ebnf.py David Mertz' book Text Processing in Python has many examples: http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/ HTH Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
