I tried to use this in place of shlex for parsing IMAP responses for the
'imapclient' package. A couple of things struck me.
* The class no longer has a next() method but probably should be added for b/w
compat.
* The class no longer has a 'token' attribute, which people may use to record
the current token. Sadly it isn't clear if this is a documented part of the
API or not.
* Typo:
wordchards = property(_get_wordchars, _set_wordchars)
'wordchards' is wrong. This implies there are no tests which set wordchars.
* I *think* the lexer is now returning an empty string token as an input source
is rolled over whereas before it did not. In effect, I *think* the old lexer
would allow a single token to span sources, where this patched version does
not. Sadly I didn't confirm this is truly accurate - but tests for this
behaviour would probably help.
