[egenix-users] [ANN] SimpleParse 2.0.0 final released

[Mike C. Fletcher]

I have just released version 2.0.0 of the SimpleParse parser-generation 
system.  Version 2.0.0 is a major upgrade from SimpleParse 1.0 include a 
significant set of new features and a completely rewritten core engine, 
but it should still be compatible with your 1.0 grammars.

     http://simpleparse.sourceforge.net/

for optimal operation, I would suggest using Python 2.2.x and 
mxTextTools 2.1.x, but the package should run (though in some cases with 
subtle errors, particularly when using mxTextTools 2.0.x) under 1.5.2 
and above with mxTextTools 2.0.x and above.

About SimpleParse...

SimpleParse is a BSD-licensed Python package providing a simple parser 
generator for use with the mxTextTools text-tagging engine. SimpleParse 
allows you to generate tagging tables for use with the text-tagging 
engine directly from your EBNF grammar.

Unlike most parser generators, SimpleParse generates single-pass parsers 
(there is no distinct tokenization stage), an approach taken from the 
predecessor project (mcf.pars) which attempted to create "autonomously 
parsing regex objects". The resulting parsers are not as generalized as 
those created by, for instance, the Earley algorithm, but they do tend 
to be useful for the parsing of computer file formats and the like (as 
distinct from natural language and similar "hard" parsing problems).

See:
     http://simpleparse.sourceforge.net/
for details and documentation.

Have fun,
Mike
