Agreed, it's pretty inefficient. (For comparison, it runs in about two seconds on my machine, so I hadn't noticed how bad it had gotten. Thanks for pointing it out.) The hammer I had available at the time was Perl-plus-compiled-executable. But I've just recently added a C-based TAP suite in 4e1e417330d4, so I could try to port this suite over in that direction. (Or I could find a way to port it to pytest... but C seems like a better fit for testing the parser, in part because it'll be more easily fuzzable that way.) --Jacob
