竜 TatSu v4.4.0 has been released. Thanks to Vic Nightfall, support for
left-recursion in PEG grammars is now complete.

    def WARNING():
        return 'v4.4.0 is the last version of 竜TatSu supporting Python 2.7'

竜 TatSu (the successor to Grako) is a tool that takes grammars in a
variation of EBNF as input, and outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers
in Python.

竜 TatSu can compile a grammar stored in a string into a
tatsu.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given input,
much like the re module does with regular expressions, or it can
generate a Python module that implements the parser.

竜 TatSu supports left-recursive rules in PEG grammars using the
algorithm by _Laurent_ and _Mens_. The generated AST has the expected
left associativity.
