What do you mean by “elements” of a make file? Is that a term with a specific meaning, or do you mean some particular parts of the make file? > I have tried reading the make file as text file and parsing it,but its > not the ideal solution You might be interested in using a library purpose-built for creating a parser <URL:http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/>. I'm not aware of any makefile-syntax-aware tool for Python. Your best option could be to write your own parser using the above library. -- \ “True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to | `\ others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you | _o__) want.” —Larry Wall | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
