EuroPython 2007 - Parsing Languages with mxTextTools
mxTextTools comes with a high performance Tagging Engine for text and Unicode data which can be used to tokenize and parse (little) languages. The resulting abstract syntax tree can then be hooked up to a generator to build a complete and fast compiler in pure Python.
The talk gives a short introduction to the way the mxTextTools Tagging Engine works and how it can be used to build compilers.
mxTextTools is an eGenix Open Source product available as part of the eGenix mx Base Distribution.
