For python3.
Parser combinators are just higher-order functions that take parsers as
their arguments and return them as result values. Parser combinators are:
.
First-class values. Extremely composable. Tend to make the code quite compact.
Resemble the readable notation of xBNF grammars.
.
Parsers made with funcparserlib are pure-Python LL(*) parsers. It means that
it's very easy to write them without thinking about look-aheads and all that
hardcore parsing stuff. But the recursive descent parsing is a rather slow
method compared to LL(k) or LR(k) algorithms.
.
So the primary domain for funcparserlib is parsing little languages or external
DSLs (domain specific languages).
.
The library itself is very small. Its source code is only 0.5 KLOC, with lots
of comments included. It features the longest parsed prefix error reporting,
as well as a tiny lexer generator for token position tracking.
