Hello, I have recently had to deal with an XML-based programming language. (The programs are generated programmatically.)
XML leads to a "two-level" parsing problem: first parse the xml into tokens, then parse the tokens to grasp their meaning (based on the semantics of the programming language). Basically, I used elementtree as a sophisticated "lexer" and wrote a recursive descent parser to perform the semantic analysis and interpretation. (It works great.) But I keep wondering: do parser generator tools exist that I could have used instead of writing the recursive descent parser manually ? Best regards, Stefaan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
