Description     : Lex and Yacc implementation for Python

>From the homepage: "PLY is yet another implementation of lex
and yacc for Python. Although several other parsing tools
are available for Python, there are several reasons why you
might want to take a look at PLY:

 * It's implemented entirely in Python.

 * It uses LR-parsing which is reasonably efficient and well
   suited for larger grammars.

 * PLY provides most of the standard lex/yacc features
   including support for empty productions, precedence
   rules, error recovery, and support for ambiguous
   grammars.

 * PLY is extremely easy to use and provides very extensive
   error checking."
