I would agree. I originally developed PLY so I could use it in a university course I was teaching on compilers--that was a graduate- level computer science course. I don't think you need to suffer through the infamous Dragon book to be able to use PLY. However, you'll definitely want to get some supporting texts. The O'Reilly "Lex & Yacc" book isn't too bad as a reference. Almost everything in that book applies to PLY and can be used as a source of ideas. Other than that, I don't really have many recommendations for a modern compilers text.
