It has probably been debated to death already, and I have a folder full
of suggestions about scanners and parsers for Python, waiting for me to
read and study, which I gleaned from this very mailing list.
Isn't there a need for compiling grammars into fast scanners and parsers,
a bit like Flex and Bison do for C people? To be happy, I presume one would
have to write small amounts of Python code for each "action". Or maybe just
provide the name of a function to call. Yet, the result has to be Python.
Or are you suggesting that such tools should directly generate byte-code?
