Q: pyhton based lex, yacc tools

[Vassilis Virvilis]

Halo everybody,

Since I am rather new to the python world I would like to ask:

Is there available any python tool which corresponds to a lex scanner
and/or a yacc parser? If not why?

Does the community behind this newsgroup think that they are useless? Is
it so much better to hand code things? or do I really miss something? It
looks to me that having the expressive power of python and the re module
the scanner should be at least a perfectly doable task.

Please comment...
