With all due respect, Mark, your remarks are rubbish. Nobody talked about parsing input with binary switches except you. I answered that 40 years ago I wrote a parser generator that generated a parser for Algol 68 (and another one for Algol 60 I should have added). And all this was using punched cards. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
