  Description     : CPython's PEG parser generator

Pegen is the parser generator used in CPython to produce the parser used
by the interpreter. It allows one to produce PEG parsers from a
description of a formal Grammar.

Pegen exists to distribute a version of the Python PEG parser generator
used by CPython that can be installed as package, with some
improvements. Although the official PEG generator included in CPython
can generate both Python and C code, this distribution of the generator
only allows one to generate Python code. This is due to the fact that
the C code generated by the generator included in CPython includes a lot
of implementation details and private headers that are not available for
general usage.

This is a dependency for the "Enaml" UI framework, which is a dependency
for InkCut which I also intend to package.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python team.
