I don't think you can define new operators. AFAICT, the lexing/parsing is done using the built-in Python grammar. You can control the behavior of the predefined operators and reject operators you don't like, but you can't add new ones or change precedence/syntax or anything like that. If you want to tweak the grammar itself, then I think you need to use something like pyparsing. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
