Description : ANother Tool for Language Recognition - Python 3 bindings
ANTLR, ANother Tool for Language Recognition, (formerly PCCTS) is a language
tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and
translators from grammatical descriptions containing C++ or Java actions (You
can use PCCTS 1.xx to generate C-based parsers).
.
Computer language translation has become a common task. While compilers and
tools for traditional computer languages (such as C or Java) are still being
built, their number is dwarfed by the thousands of mini-languages for which
recognizers and translators are being developed. Programmers construct
translators for database formats, graphical data files (e.g., PostScript,
AutoCAD), text processing files (e.g., HTML, SGML). ANTLR is designed to
handle all of your translation tasks.
Note: Upstream is keeping the Python3 source code in a separated folder as
the Python2 version, and therefore, a 2nd source package must exist. This
package is part of the OpenStack team effort to get rid of Python2.
