<!-- ==================== MODULE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Module pyparsing</h1><p class="nomargin-top"><span class="codelink"><a href="pyparsing.pyparsing-pysrc.html">source code</a></span></p>
<p>pyparsing module - Classes and methods to define and execute parsing
grammars</p>
<p>The pyparsing module is an alternative approach to creating and
executing simple grammars, vs. the traditional lex/yacc approach, or the
use of regular expressions. With pyparsing, you don't need to learn a
new syntax for defining grammars or matching expressions - the parsing
module provides a library of classes that you use to construct the
grammar directly in Python.</p>
<p>Here is a program to parse "Hello, World!" (or any greeting
of the form <code>"<salutation>,
<addressee>!"</code>):</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
from pyparsing import Word, alphas
# define grammar of a greeting
greet = Word( alphas ) + "," + Word( alphas ) + "!"
hello = "Hello, World!"
print (hello, "->", greet.parseString( hello ))
</pre>
<p>The program outputs the following:</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
Hello, World! -> ['Hello', ',', 'World', '!']
</pre>
<p>The Python representation of the grammar is quite readable, owing to
the self-explanatory class names, and the use of '+', '|' and '^'
operators.</p>
<p>The parsed results returned from <code>parseString()</code> can be
accessed as a nested list, a dictionary, or an object with named
attributes.</p>
<p>The pyparsing module handles some of the problems that are typically
vexing when writing text parsers:</p>
<ul>
<li>
extra or missing whitespace (the above program will also handle
"Hello,World!", "Hello , World !", etc.)
</li>
<li>
quoted strings
</li>
<li>
embedded comments
</li>
</ul>

strs - a string of space-delimited literals, or a list of string

<p>Helper to return the original, untokenized text for a given

into the raw tag text itself, or to revert separate tokens with
intervening whitespace back to the original matching input text. Simpler
to use than the parse action <code><a

inspect module to chase up the call stack. By default, returns a string

matched text from the input string. So if the expression passed to
