Another possibility is to use the ast module of python: http://docs.python.org/library/ast.html
The only problem with that module, is that everything you parse must be correct, otherwise it throws an exception, I don't know if that's a problem for your project? -----Original message----- From:Eric S.

For example, one example (from the white paper) *meat space blowback = Friends and family [well-meaning attempt] *could that be parsed by the tools you mention? I suspect not but this is what I need to generate using speech recognition because it's easily spoken. A more complex example might be something like new base = OS path-base name (old path) or if OS base exists (current path): new base name = OS path base name(current path) What's particularly cute here is that using the translation technique I can actually describe the full object method path with a minimum of speaking overhead. Python is great. :-) But the questions remain, will these tools are stuff like this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
