PLY-3.0 broke this + feature by accident. + +02/28/09: beazley + Fixed debugging output. yacc() no longer reports shift/reduce + or reduce/reduce conflicts if debugging is turned off. This + restores similar behavior in PLY-2.5. Reported by Andrew Waters. + +Version 3.0 +----------------------------- +02/03/09: beazley + Fixed missing lexer attribute on certain tokens when + invoking the parser p_error() function. Reported by + Bart Whiteley. + +02/02/09: beazley + The lex() command now does all error-reporting and diagonistics + using the logging module interface. Pass in a Logger object + using the errorlog parameter to specify a different logger. + +02/02/09: beazley + Refactored ply.lex to use a more object-oriented and organized + approach to collecting lexer information. + +02/01/09: beazley + Removed the nowarn option from lex(). All output is controlled + by passing in a logger object. Just pass in a logger with a high + level setting to suppress output. This argument was never + documented to begin with so hopefully no one was relying upon it. + +02/01/09: beazley + Discovered and removed a dead if-statement in the lexer. This + resulted in a 6-7% speedup in lexing when I tested it. + +01/13/09: beazley + Minor change to the procedure for signalling a syntax error in a + production rule. A normal SyntaxError exception should be raised + instead of yacc.SyntaxError. + +01/13/09: beazley + Added a new method p.set_lineno(n,lineno) that can be used to set the + line number of symbol n in grammar rules. This simplifies manual + tracking of line numbers. + +01/11/09: beazley + Vastly improved debugging support for yacc.parse(). Instead of passing + debug as an integer, you can supply a Logging object (see the logging + module). Messages will be generated at the ERROR, INFO, and DEBUG + logging levels, each level providing progressively more information. + The debugging trace also shows states, grammar rule, values passed + into grammar rules, and the result of each reduction. + +01/09/09: beazley + The yacc() command now does all error-reporting and diagnostics using + the interface of the logging module. Use the errorlog parameter to + specify a logging object for error messages. Use the debuglog parameter + to specify a logging object for the 'parser.out' output. + +01/09/09: beazley + *HUGE* refactoring of the the ply.yacc() implementation. The high-level + user interface is backwards compatible, but the internals are completely + reorganized into classes. No more global variables. The internals + are also more extensible. For example, you can use the classes to + construct a LALR(1) parser in an entirely different manner than + what is currently the case. Documentation is forthcoming. + +01/07/09: beazley + Various cleanup and refactoring of yacc internals. + +01/06/09: beazley + Fixed a bug with precedence assignment. yacc was assigning the precedence + each rule based on the left-most token, when in fact, it should have been + using the right-most token. Reported by Bruce Frederiksen. + +11/27/08: beazley + Numerous changes to support Python 3.0 including removal of deprecated + statements (e.g., has_key) and the additional of compatibility code + to emulate features from Python 2 that have been removed, but which + are needed. Fixed the unit testing suite to work with Python 3.0. + The code should be backwards compatible with Python 2. + +11/26/08: beazley + Loosened the rules on what kind of objects can be passed in as the + "module" parameter to lex() and yacc(). Previously, you could only use + a module or an instance. Now, PLY just uses dir() to get a list of + symbols on whatever the object is without regard for its type. + +11/26/08: beazley + Changed all except: statements to be compatible with Python2.x/3.x syntax. + +11/26/08: beazley + Changed all raise Exception, value statements to raise Exception(value) for + forward compatibility. + +11/26/08: beazley + Removed all print statements from lex and yacc, using sys.stdout and sys.stderr + directly. Preparation for Python 3.0 support. + +11/04/08: beazley + Fixed a bug with referring to symbols on the the parsing stack using negative + indices. + +05/29/08: beazley + Completely revamped the testing system to use the unittest module for everything. + Added additional tests to cover new errors/warnings. + +Version 2.5 +----------------------------- +05/28/08: beazley + Fixed a bug with writing lex-tables in optimized mode and start states. + Reported by Kevin Henry. + +Version 2.4 +----------------------------- +05/04/08: beazley + A version number is now embedded in the table file signature so that + yacc can more gracefully accomodate changes to the output format + in the future. + +05/04/08: beazley + Removed undocumented .pushback() method on grammar productions. I'm + not sure this ever worked and can't recall ever using it. Might have + been an abandoned idea that never really got fleshed out. This + feature was never described or tested so removing it is hopefully + harmless. + +05/04/08: beazley + Added extra error checking to yacc() to detect precedence rules defined + for undefined terminal symbols. This allows yacc() to detect a potential + problem that can be really tricky to debug if no warning message or error + message is generated about it. + +05/04/08: beazley + lex() now has an outputdir that can specify the output directory for + tables when running in optimize mode. For example: + + lexer = lex.lex(optimize=True, lextab="ltab", outputdir="foo/bar") + + The behavior of specifying a table module and output directory are + more aligned with the behavior of yacc(). + +05/04/08: beazley + [Issue 9] + Fixed filename bug in when specifying the modulename in lex() and yacc(). + If you specified options such as the following: + + parser = yacc.yacc(tabmodule="foo.bar.parsetab",outputdir="foo/bar") + + yacc would create a file "foo.bar.parsetab.py" in the given directory. + Now, it simply generates a file "parsetab.py" in that directory. + Bug reported by cptbinho. + +05/04/08: beazley + Slight modification to lex() and yacc() to allow their table files + to be loaded from a previously loaded module. This might make + it easier to load the parsing tables from a complicated package + structure. For example: + + import foo.bar.spam.parsetab as parsetab + parser = yacc.yacc(tabmodule=parsetab) + + Note: lex and yacc will never regenerate the table file if used + in the form---you will get a warning message instead. + This idea suggested by Brian Clapper. + + +04/28/08: beazley + Fixed a big with p_error() functions being picked up correctly + when running in yacc(optimize=1) mode. Patch contributed by + Bart Whiteley. + +02/28/08: beazley + Fixed a bug with 'nonassoc' precedence rules. Basically the + non-precedence was being ignored and not producing the correct + run-time behavior in the parser. + +02/16/08: beazley + Slight relaxation of what the input() method to a lexer will + accept as a string. Instead of testing the input to see + if the input is a string or unicode string, it checks to see + if the input object looks like it contains string data. + This change makes it possible to pass string-like objects + in as input. For example, the object returned by mmap. + + import mmap, os + data = mmap.mmap(os.open(filename,os.O_RDONLY), + os.path.getsize(filename), + access=mmap.ACCESS_READ) + lexer.input(data) + + +11/29/07: beazley + Modification of ply.lex to allow token functions to aliased. + This is subtle, but it makes it easier to create libraries and + to reuse token specifications. For example, suppose you defined + a function like this: + + def number(t): + r'\d+' + t.value = int(t.value) + return t + + This change would allow you to define a token rule as follows: + + t_NUMBER = number + + In this case, the token type will be set to 'NUMBER' and use + the associated number() function to process tokens. + +11/28/07: beazley + Slight modification to lex and yacc to grab symbols from both + the local and global dictionaries of the caller.

It also counts - as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence - the version number 2.1.] - - Preamble - - The licenses for most software are designed to take away your -freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public -Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change -free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. - - This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some -specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the -Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You -can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether -this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better -strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. - - When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, -not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that -you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge -for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get -it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of -it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do -these things. - - To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid -distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these -rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for -you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. - - For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis -or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave -you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source -code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide -complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them -with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling -it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. - - We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the -library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal -permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. - - To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that -there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is -modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know -that what they have is not the original version, so that the original -author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be -introduced by others. - - Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of -any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot -effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a -restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that -any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be -consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. - - Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the -ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser -General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and -is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use -this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those -libraries into non-free programs. - - When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using -a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a -combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary -General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the -entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General -Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with -the library. - - We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it -does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General -Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less -of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages -are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many -libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain -special circumstances. - - For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to -encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes -a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be -allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free -library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this -case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free -software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. - - In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free -programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of -free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in -non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU -operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating -system. - - Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the -users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is -linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run -that program using a modified version of the Library. - - The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a -"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The -former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must -be combined with the library in order to run. - - GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - - 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other -program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or -other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of -this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). -Each licensee is addressed as "you". - - A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data -prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs -(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. - - The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work -which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the -Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under -copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a -portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated -straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is -included without limitation in the term "modification".) - - "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for -making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means -all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated -interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation -and installation of the library. - - Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not -covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of -running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from -such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based -on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for -writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does -and what the program that uses the Library does. - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's -complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that -you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an -appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact -all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any -warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the -Library. - - You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, -and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a -fee. - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion -of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and -distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 -above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - - a) The modified work must itself be a software library. - - b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no - charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. - - d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a - table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses - the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility - is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, - in the event an application does not supply such function or - table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of - its purpose remains meaningful. - - (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has - a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the - application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any - application-supplied function or table used by this function must - be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square - root function must still compute square roots.) - -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based -on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote -it. - -Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or -collective works based on the Library. - -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library -with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under -the scope of this License. - - 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public -License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do -this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so -that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, -instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the -ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify -that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in -these notices. - - Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for -that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all -subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. - - This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of -the Library into a program that is not a library. - - 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or -derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form -under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany -it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which -must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a -medium customarily used for software interchange. - - If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy -from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the -source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to -distribute the source code, even though third parties are not -compelled to copy the source along with the object code. - - 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the -Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or -linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a -work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and -therefore falls outside the scope of this License. - - However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library -creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it -contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the -library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. -Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. - - When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file -that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a -derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. -Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be -linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The -threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. - - If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data -structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline -functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object -file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative -work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the -Library will still fall under Section 6.) - - Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may -distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. -Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, -whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. - - 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or -link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a -work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work -under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit -modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse -engineering for debugging such modifications. - - You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the -Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by -this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work -during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the -copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference -directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one -of these things: - - a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding - machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever - changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under - Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked - with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that - uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the - user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified - executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood - that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the - Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application - to use the modified definitions.) - - b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the - Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a - copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, - rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) - will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if - the user installs one, as long as the modified version is - interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. - - c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at - least three years, to give the same user the materials - specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more - than the cost of performing this distribution. - - d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy - from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above - specified materials from the same place. - - e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these - materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. - - For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the -Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for -reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, -the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is -normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major -components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on -which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies -the executable. - - It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license -restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally -accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot -use both them and the Library together in an executable that you -distribute. - - 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the -Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library -facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined -library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on -the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise -permitted, and provided that you do these two things: - - a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work - based on the Library, uncombined with any other library - facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the - Sections above. - - b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact - that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining - where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. - - 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute -the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any -attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or -distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your -rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, -or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses -terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - - 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not -signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or -distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are -prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by -modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the -Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying -the Library or works based on it. - - 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the -Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the -original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library -subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further -restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. -You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with -this License. - - 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent -infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), -conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or -otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not -excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot -distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this -License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you -may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent -license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by -all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then -the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to -refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. - -If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any -particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, -and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. - -It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the -integrity of the free software distribution system which is -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot -impose that choice. - -This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to -be a consequence of the rest of this License. - - 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in -certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the -original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add -an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, -so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus -excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if -written in the body of this License. - - 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new -versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. -Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, -but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. - -Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library -specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and -"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and -conditions either of that version or of any later version published by -the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a -license version number, you may choose any version ever published by -the Free Software Foundation. - - 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free -programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, -write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is -copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free -Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our -decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status -of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing -and reuse of software generally. - - NO WARRANTY - - 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO -WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. -EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR -OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY -KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE -IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR -PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE -LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME -THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - - 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN -WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY -AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU -FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR -CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE -LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING -RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A -FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF -SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH -DAMAGES. - - END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS - - How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries - - If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest -possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that -everyone can redistribute and change.

1. Introduction

+ + +This document describes classes and functions that make up the internal +operation of PLY. Using this programming interface, it is possible to +manually build an parser using a different interface specification +than what PLY normally uses. For example, you could build a gramar +from information parsed in a completely different input format. Some of +these objects may be useful for building more advanced parsing engines +such as GLR. + +

+It should be stressed that using PLY at this level is not for the +faint of heart. Generally, it's assumed that you know a bit of +the underlying compiler theory and how an LR parser is put together. + +

2. Grammar Class

+ + +The file ply.yacc defines a class Grammar that +is used to hold and manipulate information about a grammar +specification. It encapsulates the same basic information +about a grammar that is put into a YACC file including +the list of tokens, precedence rules, and grammar rules. +Various operations are provided to perform different validations +on the grammar. In addition, there are operations to compute +the first and follow sets that are needed by the various table +generation algorithms. + +

+Grammar(terminals) + +

+Creates a new grammar object. terminals is a list of strings +specifying the terminals for the grammar. An instance g of +Grammar has the following methods: +
+ +

+g.set_precedence(term,assoc,level) +

+Sets the precedence level and associativity for a given terminal term. +assoc is one of 'right', +'left', or 'nonassoc' and level is a positive integer. The higher +the value of level, the higher the precedence. Here is an example of typical +precedence settings: + +
+g.set_precedence('PLUS',  'left',1)
+g.set_precedence('MINUS', 'left',1)
+g.set_precedence('TIMES', 'left',2)
+g.set_precedence('DIVIDE','left',2)
+g.set_precedence('UMINUS','left',3)
+
+ +This method must be called prior to adding any productions to the +grammar with g.add_production(). The precedence of individual grammar +rules is determined by the precedence of the right-most terminal. + +
+

+g.add_production(name,syms,func=None,file='',line=0) +

+Adds a new grammar rule. name is the name of the rule, +syms is a list of symbols making up the right hand +side of the rule, func is the function to call when +reducing the rule. file and line specify +the filename and line number of the rule and are used for +generating error messages. + +

+The list of symbols in syms may include character +literals and %prec specifiers. Here are some +examples: + +

+g.add_production('expr',['expr','PLUS','term'],func,file,line)
+g.add_production('expr',['expr','"+"','term'],func,file,line)
+g.add_production('expr',['MINUS','expr','%prec','UMINUS'],func,file,line)
+
+ +

+If any kind of error is detected, a GrammarError exception +is raised with a message indicating the reason for the failure. +

+ +

+g.set_start(start=None) +

+Sets the starting rule for the grammar. start is a string +specifying the name of the start rule. If start is omitted, +the first grammar rule added with add_production() is taken to be +the starting rule. This method must always be called after all +productions have been added. +
+ +

+g.find_unreachable() +

+Diagnostic function. Returns a list of all unreachable non-terminals +defined in the grammar. This is used to identify inactive parts of +the grammar specification. +
+ +

+g.infinite_cycle() +

+Diagnostic function. Returns a list of all non-terminals in the +grammar that result in an infinite cycle. This condition occurs if +there is no way for a grammar rule to expand to a string containing +only terminal symbols. +
+ +

+g.undefined_symbols() +

+Diagnostic function. Returns a list of tuples (name, prod) +corresponding to undefined symbols in the grammar. name is the +name of the undefined symbol and prod is an instance of +Production which has information about the production rule +where the undefined symbol was used. +
+ +

+g.unused_terminals() +

+Diagnostic function. Returns a list of terminals that were defined, +but never used in the grammar. +
+ +

+g.unused_rules() +

+Diagnostic function. Returns a list of Production instances +corresponding to production rules that were defined in the grammar, +but never used anywhere. This is slightly different +than find_unreachable(). +
+ +

+g.unused_precedence() +

+Diagnostic function. Returns a list of tuples (term, assoc) +corresponding to precedence rules that were set, but never used the +grammar. term is the terminal name and assoc is the +precedence associativity (e.g., 'left', 'right', +or 'nonassoc'. +
+ +

+g.compute_first() +

+Compute all of the first sets for all symbols in the grammar. Returns a dictionary +mapping symbol names to a list of all first symbols. +
+ +

+g.compute_follow() +

+Compute all of the follow sets for all non-terminals in the grammar. +The follow set is the set of all possible symbols that might follow a +given non-terminal. Returns a dictionary mapping non-terminal names +to a list of symbols. +
+ +

+g.build_lritems() +

+Calculates all of the LR items for all productions in the grammar. This +step is required before using the grammar for any kind of table generation. +See the section on LR items below. +
+ +

+The following attributes are set by the above methods and may be useful +in code that works with the grammar. All of these attributes should be +assumed to be read-only. Changing their values directly will likely +break the grammar. + +

+g.Productions +

+A list of all productions added. The first entry is reserved for +a production representing the starting rule. The objects in this list +are instances of the Production class, described shortly. +
+ +

+g.Prodnames +

+A dictionary mapping the names of nonterminals to a list of all +productions of that nonterminal. +
+ +

+g.Terminals +

+A dictionary mapping the names of terminals to a list of the +production numbers where they are used. +
+ +

+g.Nonterminals +

+A dictionary mapping the names of nonterminals to a list of the +production numbers where they are used. +
+ +

+g.First +

+A dictionary representing the first sets for all grammar symbols. This is +computed and returned by the compute_first() method. +
+ +

+g.Follow +

+A dictionary representing the follow sets for all grammar rules. This is +computed and returned by the compute_follow() method. +
+ +

+g.Start +

+Starting symbol for the grammar. Set by the set_start() method. +
+ +For the purposes of debugging, a Grammar object supports the __len__() and +__getitem__() special methods. Accessing g[n] returns the nth production +from the grammar. + + +

3. Productions

+ + +Grammar objects store grammar rules as instances of a Production class. This +class has no public constructor--you should only create productions by calling Grammar.add_production(). +The following attributes are available on a Production instance p. + +

+p.name +

+The name of the production. For a grammar rule such as A : B C D, this is 'A'. +
+ +

+p.prod +

+A tuple of symbols making up the right-hand side of the production. For a grammar rule such as A : B C D, this is ('B','C','D'). +
+ +

+p.number +

+Production number. An integer containing the index of the production in the grammar's Productions list. +
+ +

+p.func +

+The name of the reduction function associated with the production. +This is the function that will execute when reducing the entire +grammar rule during parsing. +
+ +

+p.callable +

+The callable object associated with the name in p.func. This is None +unless the production has been bound using bind(). +
+ +

+p.file +

+Filename associated with the production. Typically this is the file where the production was defined. Used for error messages. +
+ +

+p.lineno +

+Line number associated with the production. Typically this is the line number in p.file where the production was defined. Used for error messages. +
+ +

+p.prec +

+Precedence and associativity associated with the production. This is a tuple (assoc,level) where +assoc is one of 'left','right', or 'nonassoc' and level is +an integer. This value is determined by the precedence of the right-most terminal symbol in the production +or by use of the %prec specifier when adding the production. +
+ +

+p.usyms +

+A list of all unique symbols found in the production. +
+ +

+p.lr_items +

+A list of all LR items for this production. This attribute only has a meaningful value if the +Grammar.build_lritems() method has been called. The items in this list are +instances of LRItem described below. +
+ +

+p.lr_next +

+The head of a linked-list representation of the LR items in p.lr_items. +This attribute only has a meaningful value if the Grammar.build_lritems() +method has been called. Each LRItem instance has a lr_next attribute +to move to the next item. The list is terminated by None. +
+ +

+p.bind(dict) +

+Binds the production function name in p.func to a callable object in +dict. This operation is typically carried out in the last step +prior to running the parsing engine and is needed since parsing tables are typically +read from files which only include the function names, not the functions themselves. +
+ +

+Production objects support +the __len__(), __getitem__(), and __str__() +special methods. +len(p) returns the number of symbols in p.prod +and p[n] is the same as p.prod[n]. + +

4. LRItems

+ + +The construction of parsing tables in an LR-based parser generator is primarily +done over a set of "LR Items". An LR item represents a stage of parsing one +of the grammar rules. To compute the LR items, it is first necessary to +call Grammar.build_lritems(). Once this step, all of the productions +in the grammar will have their LR items attached to them. + +

+Here is an interactive example that shows what LR items look like if you +interactively experiment. In this example, g is a Grammar +object. + +

+
+>>> g.build_lritems()
+>>> p = g[1]
+>>> p
+Production(statement -> ID = expr)
+>>>
+
+
+ +In the above code, p represents the first grammar rule. In +this case, a rule 'statement -> ID = expr'. + +

+Now, let's look at the LR items for p. + +

+
+>>> p.lr_items
+[LRItem(statement -> . ID = expr), 
+ LRItem(statement -> ID . = expr), 
+ LRItem(statement -> ID = . expr), 
+ LRItem(statement -> ID = expr .)]
+>>>
+
+
+ +In each LR item, the dot (.) represents a specific stage of parsing. In each LR item, the dot +is advanced by one symbol. It is only when the dot reaches the very end that a production +is successfully parsed. + +

+An instance lr of LRItem has the following +attributes that hold information related to that specific stage of +parsing. + +

+lr.name +

+The name of the grammar rule. For example, 'statement' in the above example. +
+ +

+lr.prod +

+A tuple of symbols representing the right-hand side of the production, including the +special '.' character. For example, ('ID','.','=','expr'). +
+ +

+lr.number +

+An integer representing the production number in the grammar. +
+ +

+lr.usyms +

+A set of unique symbols in the production. Inherited from the original Production instance. +
+ +

+lr.lr_index +

+An integer representing the position of the dot (.). You should never use lr.prod.index() +to search for it--the result will be wrong if the grammar happens to also use (.) as a character +literal. +
+ +

+lr.lr_after +

+A list of all productions that can legally appear immediately to the right of the +dot (.). This list contains Production instances. This attribute +represents all of the possible branches a parse can take from the current position. +For example, suppose that lr represents a stage immediately before +an expression like this: + +
+>>> lr
+LRItem(statement -> ID = . expr)
+>>>
+
+ +Then, the value of lr.lr_after might look like this, showing all productions that +can legally appear next: + +
+>>> lr.lr_after
+[Production(expr -> expr PLUS expr), 
+ Production(expr -> expr MINUS expr), 
+ Production(expr -> expr TIMES expr), 
+ Production(expr -> expr DIVIDE expr), 
+ Production(expr -> MINUS expr), 
+ Production(expr -> LPAREN expr RPAREN), 
+ Production(expr -> NUMBER), 
+ Production(expr -> ID)]
+>>>
+
+ +
+ +

+lr.lr_before +

+The grammar symbol that appears immediately before the dot (.) or None if +at the beginning of the parse. +
+ +

+lr.lr_next +

+A link to the next LR item, representing the next stage of the parse. None if lr +is the last LR item. +
+ +LRItem instances also support the __len__() and __getitem__() special methods. +len(lr) returns the number of items in lr.prod including the dot (.). lr[n] +returns lr.prod[n]. + +

+It goes without saying that all of the attributes associated with LR +items should be assumed to be read-only. Modifications will very +likely create a small black-hole that will consume you and your code. + +

5. LRTable

+ + +The LRTable class is used to represent LR parsing table data. This +minimally includes the production list, action table, and goto table. + +

+LRTable() +

+Create an empty LRTable object. This object contains only the information needed to +run an LR parser. +
+ +An instance lrtab of LRTable has the following methods: + +

+lrtab.read_table(module) +

+Populates the LR table with information from the module specified in module. +module is either a module object already loaded with import or +the name of a Python module. If it's a string containing a module name, it is +loaded and parsing data is extracted. Returns the signature value that was used +when initially writing the tables. Raises a VersionError exception if +the module was created using an incompatible version of PLY. +
+ +

+lrtab.bind_callables(dict) +

+This binds all of the function names used in productions to callable objects +found in the dictionary dict. During table generation and when reading +LR tables from files, PLY only uses the names of action functions such as 'p_expr', +'p_statement', etc. In order to actually run the parser, these names +have to be bound to callable objects. This method is always called prior to +running a parser. +
+ +After lrtab has been populated, the following attributes are defined. + +

+lrtab.lr_method +

+The LR parsing method used (e.g., 'LALR') +
+ + +

+lrtab.lr_productions +

+The production list. If the parsing tables have been newly +constructed, this will be a list of Production instances. If +the parsing tables have been read from a file, it's a list +of MiniProduction instances. This, together +with lr_action and lr_goto contain all of the +information needed by the LR parsing engine. +
+ +

+lrtab.lr_action +

+The LR action dictionary that implements the underlying state machine. +The keys of this dictionary are the LR states. +
+ +

+lrtab.lr_goto +

+The LR goto table that contains information about grammar rule reductions. +
+ + +

6. LRGeneratedTable

+ + +The LRGeneratedTable class represents constructed LR parsing tables on a +grammar. It is a subclass of LRTable. + +

+LRGeneratedTable(grammar, method='LALR',log=None) +

+Create the LR parsing tables on a grammar. grammar is an instance of Grammar, +method is a string with the parsing method ('SLR' or 'LALR'), and +log is a logger object used to write debugging information. The debugging information +written to log is the same as what appears in the parser.out file created +by yacc. By supplying a custom logger with a different message format, it is possible to get +more information (e.g., the line number in yacc.py used for issuing each line of +output in the log). The result is an instance of LRGeneratedTable. +
+ +

+An instance lr of LRGeneratedTable has the following attributes. + +

+lr.grammar +

+A link to the Grammar object used to construct the parsing tables. +
+ +

+lr.lr_method +

+The LR parsing method used (e.g., 'LALR') +
+ + +

+lr.lr_productions +

+A reference to grammar.Productions. This, together with lr_action and lr_goto +contain all of the information needed by the LR parsing engine. +
+ +

+lr.lr_action +

+The LR action dictionary that implements the underlying state machine. The keys of this dictionary are +the LR states. +
+ +

+lr.lr_goto +

+The LR goto table that contains information about grammar rule reductions. +
+ +

+lr.sr_conflicts +

+A list of tuples (state,token,resolution) identifying all shift/reduce conflicts. state is the LR state +number where the conflict occurred, token is the token causing the conflict, and resolution is +a string describing the resolution taken. resolution is either 'shift' or 'reduce'. +
+ +

+lr.rr_conflicts +

+A list of tuples (state,rule,rejected) identifying all reduce/reduce conflicts. state is the +LR state number where the conflict occurred, rule is the production rule that was selected +and rejected is the production rule that was rejected. Both rule and rejected are +instances of Production. They can be inspected to provide the user with more information. +
+ +

+There are two public methods of LRGeneratedTable. + +

+lr.write_table(modulename,outputdir="",signature="") +

+Writes the LR parsing table information to a Python module. modulename is a string +specifying the name of a module such as "parsetab". outputdir is the name of a +directory where the module should be created. signature is a string representing a +grammar signature that's written into the output file. This can be used to detect when +the data stored in a module file is out-of-sync with the the grammar specification (and that +the tables need to be regenerated). If modulename is a string "parsetab", +this function creates a file called parsetab.py. If the module name represents a +package such as "foo.bar.parsetab", then only the last component, "parsetab" is +used. +
+ + +

7. LRParser

+ + +The LRParser class implements the low-level LR parsing engine. + + +

+LRParser(lrtab, error_func) +

+Create an LRParser. lrtab is an instance of LRTable +containing the LR production and state tables. error_func is the +error function to invoke in the event of a parsing error. +
+ +An instance p of LRParser has the following methods: + +

+p.parse(input=None,lexer=None,debug=0,tracking=0,tokenfunc=None) +

+Run the parser. input is a string, which if supplied is fed into the +lexer using its input() method. lexer is an instance of the +Lexer class to use for tokenizing. If not supplied, the last lexer +created with the lex module is used. debug is a boolean flag +that enables debugging. tracking is a boolean flag that tells the +parser to perform additional line number tracking. tokenfunc is a callable +function that returns the next token. If supplied, the parser will use it to get +all tokens. +
+ +

+p.restart() +

+Resets the parser state for a parse already in progress. +
+ +

8. ParserReflect

+ + +

+The ParserReflect class is used to collect parser specification data +from a Python module or object. This class is what collects all of the +p_rule() functions in a PLY file, performs basic error checking, +and collects all of the needed information to build a grammar. Most of the +high-level PLY interface as used by the yacc() function is actually +implemented by this class. + +

+ParserReflect(pdict, log=None) +

+Creates a ParserReflect instance. pdict is a dictionary +containing parser specification data. This dictionary typically corresponds +to the module or class dictionary of code that implements a PLY parser. +log is a logger instance that will be used to report error +messages. +
+ +An instance p of ParserReflect has the following methods: + +

+p.get_all() +

+Collect and store all required parsing information. +
+ +

+p.validate_all() +

+Validate all of the collected parsing information. This is a seprate step +from p.get_all() as a performance optimization. In order to +increase parser start-up time, a parser can elect to only validate the +parsing data when regenerating the parsing tables. The validation +step tries to collect as much information as possible rather than +raising an exception at the first sign of trouble. The attribute +p.error is set if there are any validation errors. The +value of this attribute is also returned. +
+ +

+p.signature() +

+Compute a signature representing the contents of the collected parsing +data. The signature value should change if anything in the parser +specification has changed in a way that would justify parser table +regeneration. This method can be called after p.get_all(), +but before p.validate_all(). +
+ +The following attributes are set in the process of collecting data: + +

+p.start +

+The grammar start symbol, if any. Taken from pdict['start']. +
+ +

+p.error_func +

+The error handling function or None. Taken from pdict['p_error']. +
+ +

+p.tokens +

+The token list. Taken from pdict['tokens']. +
+ +

+p.prec +

+The precedence specifier. Taken from pdict['precedence']. +
+ +

+p.preclist +

+A parsed version of the precedence specified. A list of tuples of the form +(token,assoc,level) where token is the terminal symbol, +assoc is the associativity (e.g., 'left') and level +is a numeric precedence level. +
+ +

+p.grammar +

+A list of tuples (name, rules) representing the grammar rules. name is the +name of a Python function or method in pdict that starts with "p_". +rules is a list of tuples (filename,line,prodname,syms) representing +the grammar rules found in the documentation string of that function. filename and line contain location +information that can be used for debugging. prodname is the name of the +production. syms is the right-hand side of the production. If you have a +function like this + +
+def p_expr(p):
+    '''expr : expr PLUS expr
+            | expr MINUS expr
+            | expr TIMES expr
+            | expr DIVIDE expr'''
+
+ +then the corresponding entry in p.grammar might look like this: + +
+('p_expr', [ ('calc.py',10,'expr', ['expr','PLUS','expr']),
+             ('calc.py',11,'expr', ['expr','MINUS','expr']),
+             ('calc.py',12,'expr', ['expr','TIMES','expr']),
+             ('calc.py',13,'expr', ['expr','DIVIDE','expr'])
+           ])
+
+
+ +

+p.pfuncs +

+A sorted list of tuples (line, file, name, doc) representing all of +the p_ functions found. line and file give location +information. name is the name of the function. doc is the +documentation string. This list is sorted in ascending order by line number. +
+ +

+p.files +

+A dictionary holding all of the source filenames that were encountered +while collecting parser information. Only the keys of this dictionary have +any meaning. +
+ +

+p.error +

+An attribute that indicates whether or not any critical errors +occurred in validation. If this is set, it means that that some kind +of problem was detected and that no further processing should be +performed. +
+ + +

9. High-level operation

+ + +Using all of the above classes requires some attention to detail. The yacc() +function carries out a very specific sequence of operations to create a grammar. +This same sequence should be emulated if you build an alternative PLY interface. + +
    +
  1. A ParserReflect object is created and raw grammar specification data is +collected. +
  2. A Grammar object is created and populated with information +from the specification data. +
  3. A LRGenerator object is created to run the LALR algorithm over +the Grammar object. +
  4. Productions in the LRGenerator and bound to callables using the bind_callables() +method. +
  5. A LRParser object is created from from the information in the +LRGenerator object. +

-When a syntax error occurs during parsing, the error is immediately
+If you are creating a parser for production use, the handling of
+syntax errors is important.  As a general rule, you don't want a
+parser to simply throw up its hands and stop at the first sign of
+trouble.  Instead, you want it to report the error, recover if possible, and
+continue parsing so that all of the errors in the input get reported
+to the user at once.   This is the standard behavior found in compilers
+for languages such as C, C++, and Java.
+
+In PLY, when a syntax error occurs during parsing, the error is immediately
 detected (i.e., the parser does not read any more tokens beyond the
-source of the error).  Error recovery in LR parsers is a delicate
+source of the error).  However, at this point, the parser enters a
+recovery mode that can be used to try and continue further parsing.
+As a general rule, error recovery in LR parsers is a delicate
 topic that involves ancient rituals and black-magic.   The recovery mechanism
 provided by yacc.py is comparable to Unix yacc so you may want

    6.8.3 Signaling an error from a production
    
+
+
+If necessary, a production rule can manually force the parser to enter error recovery.  This
+is done by raising the SyntaxError exception like this:
+
+
    
+
    +def p_production(p):
+    'production : some production ...'
+    raise SyntaxError
+
    
+
    
+
+The effect of raising SyntaxError is the same as if the last symbol shifted onto the
+parsing stack was actually a syntax error.  Thus, when you do this, the last symbol shifted is popped off
+of the parsing stack and the current lookahead token is set to an error token.   The parser
+then enters error-recovery mode where it tries to reduce rules that can accept error tokens.  
+The steps that follow from this point are exactly the same as if a syntax error were detected and 
+p_error() were called.
+
+
    
+One important aspect of manually setting an error is that the p_error() function will NOT be
+called in this case.   If you need to issue an error message, make sure you do it in the production that
+raises SyntaxError.
+
+
    
+Note: This feature of PLY is meant to mimic the behavior of the YYERROR macro in yacc.

+and you don't need to do any debugging.   One of the purposes of
+optimized mode is to substantially decrease the startup time of
+your compiler (by assuming that everything is already properly
+specified and works).
+
+
      9. Advanced Debugging
      
+
+
+
      
+Debugging a compiler is typically not an easy task. PLY provides some
+advanced diagonistic capabilities through the use of Python's
+logging module.   The next two sections describe this:
+
+
      9.1 Debugging the lex() and yacc() commands
      
+
+
+
      
+Both the lex() and yacc() commands have a debugging
+mode that can be enabled using the debug flag.  For example:
+
+
      
+
      +lex.lex(debug=True)
+yacc.yacc(debug=True)
+
      
+
      
+
+Normally, the output produced by debugging is routed to either
+standard error or, in the case of yacc(), to a file
+parser.out.  This output can be more carefully controlled
+by supplying a logging object.  Here is an example that adds
+information about where different debugging messages are coming from:
+
+
      
+
      +# Set up a logging object
+import logging
+logging.basicConfig(
+    level = logging.DEBUG,
+    filename = "parselog.txt",
+    filemode = "w",
+    format = "%(filename)10s:%(lineno)4d:%(message)s"
+)
+log = logging.getLogger()
+
+lex.lex(debug=True,debuglog=log)
+yacc.yacc(debug=True,debuglog=log)
+
      
+
      
+
+If you supply a custom logger, the amount of debugging
+information produced can be controlled by setting the logging level.
+Typically, debugging messages are either issued at the DEBUG,
+INFO, or WARNING levels.
+
+
      
+PLY's error messages and warnings are also produced using the logging
+interface.  This can be controlled by passing a logging object
+using the errorlog parameter.
+
+
      
+
      +lex.lex(errorlog=log)
+yacc.yacc(errorlog=log)
+
      
+
      
+
+If you want to completely silence warnings, you can either pass in a
+logging object with an appropriate filter level or use the NullLogger
+object defined in either lex or yacc.  For example:
+
+
      
+
      +yacc.yacc(errorlog=yacc.NullLogger())
+
      
+
      
+
+
      9.2 Run-time Debugging
      
+
+
+
      
+To enable run-time debugging of a parser, use the debug option to parse. This
+option can either be an integer (which simply turns debugging on or off) or an instance
+of a logger object. For example:
+
+
      
+
      +log = logging.getLogger()
+parser.parse(input,debug=log)
+
      
+
      
+
+If a logging object is passed, you can use its filtering level to control how much
+output gets generated.   The INFO level is used to produce information
+about rule reductions.  The DEBUG level will show information about the
+parsing stack, token shifts, and other details.  The ERROR level shows information
+related to parsing errors.
+
+
      
+For very complicated problems, you should pass in a logging object that
+redirects to a file where you can more easily inspect the output after
+execution.
+
+

+# class Production:
 #
-# LALR(1) parsing is almost exactly the same as SLR except that instead of
-# relying upon Follow() sets when performing reductions, a more selective
-# lookahead set that incorporates the state of the LR(0) machine is utilized.
-# Thus, we mainly just have to focus on calculating the lookahead sets.
+# This class stores the raw information about a single production or grammar rule.
+# A grammar rule refers to a specification such as this:
 #
-# The method used here is due to DeRemer and Pennelo (1982).
+#       expr : expr PLUS term 
 #
-# DeRemer, F. L., and T. J. Pennelo: "Efficient Computation of LALR(1)
-#     Lookahead Sets", ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems,
-#     Vol. 4, No. 4, Oct. 1982, pp. 615-649
+# Here are the basic attributes defined on all productions
 #
-# Further details can also be found in:
+#       name     - Name of the production.  For example 'expr'
+#       prod     - A list of symbols on the right side ['expr','PLUS','term']
+#       prec     - Production precedence level
+#       number   - Production number.
+#       func     - Function that executes on reduce
+#       file     - File where production function is defined
+#       lineno   - Line number where production function is defined
 #
-#  J. Tremblay and P. Sorenson, "The Theory and Practice of Compiler Writing",
-#      McGraw-Hill Book Company, (1985).
+# The following attributes are defined or optional.
 #
-# Note:  This implementation is a complete replacement of the LALR(1)
-#        implementation in PLY-1.x releases.   That version was based on
-#        a less efficient algorithm and it had bugs in its implementation.
+#       len       - Length of the production (number of symbols on right hand side)
+#       usyms     - Set of unique symbols found in the production
