I've been in the programming business for over 20 years and I have never had a need for a parser. But recently I have need to convert code from one language to a my new language python. What a better way to learn the new language python than a new project. I decided it might be time to learn a little something about parsers too. However, I soon discovered that I was walking into the world of compiler writers and theories of computer scientist. I paid for and downloaded a paper from O'Reilly books on what I thought was going to be on 'pyparser'. But that turned out to be mostly theory. And nothing about the use of pyparser.
So I ask you guys is there a link to a practical tutorial that provides hands on information on the use of a python parser. I'd like to see something that demo's converting a real language to python. When I google parsers I have found a few simple code examples of parsing a float. Not really much help (I could have done that using Regex) when you want to parse 'if,then' statements that can be recursive. Thanks in advance. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
