What do you mean by 'pure'?
By 'pure' I mean entirely recursive and not iterative. Implementation becomes easier if you're not writing a purely recursive parsing program, and it makes it more practical to implement an arbitrary amount of 'read-ahead'. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
