The pyparsing version is a bit more readable, probably simpler to come
back later to expand definition of varName, for example.
from pyparsing import
Word,alphas,nums,FollowedBy,sglQuotedString,OneOrMore
realNum = Word(nums,nums+".").setParseAction(lambda t:float(t[0]))
varName = Word(alphas)
LHS = varName + FollowedBy("=")
RHSval = sglQuotedString | realNum | varName
RHS = OneOrMore( ~LHS + RHSval )
assignment = LHS.setResultsName("LHS") + '=' +
RHS.setResultsName("RHS")
s = "a = 4.5 b = 'h' 'd' c = 4.5 3.5"
for a in assignment.searchString(s):
print a.LHS, '=', a.RHS
prints:
['a'] = [4.5]
['b'] = ["'h'", "'d'"]
['c'] = [4.5, 3.5]
