devel/py-yapps2 2.1.1_2 DragonFly

Yapps (Yet Another Python Parser System) is an easy to use parser generator that is written in Python and generates Python code. Yapps is simple, is easy to use, and produces human-readable parsers. It is not fast, powerful, or particularly flexible. Yapps is designed to be used when regular expressions are not enough and other parser systems are too much: situations where you may write your own recursive descent parser. Yapps 1 is more like a functional language (concise grammars of the form when you see this, return this), while Yapps 2 is more like an imperative language (more verbose grammars of the form if/while you see this, do this). Yapps 2 is more flexible than Yapps 1 but it requires Python 1.5 and is not backwards-compatible with Yapps 1.

This is the development version of Yapps 2.
