Have you read the docs? It gives full details of the Python syntax. http://docs.python.org/reference/index.html For example: http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#assignment-statements See also: http://docs.python.org/library/language.html http://effbot.org/zone/simple-top-down-parsing.htm http://nedbatchelder.com/text/python-parsers.html Here's a Python parser using the pyparsing library. It's a bit old (written for Python 2.4) but it shouldn't be hard to update it to new syntax: http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/file/view/pythonGrammarParser.py -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
