  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.
