pyparsing module - Classes and methods to define and execute parsing grammars
=============================================================================

The pyparsing module is an alternative approach to creating and
executing simple grammars, vs. the traditional lex/yacc approach, or the
use of regular expressions.  With pyparsing, you don't need to learn
a new syntax for defining grammars or matching expressions - the parsing
module provides a library of classes that you use to construct the
grammar directly in Python.

Here is a program to parse "Hello, World!" (or any greeting of the form
``"<salutation>, <addressee>!"``), built up using :class:`Word`,
:class:`Literal`, and :class:`And` elements
(the :class:`'+'<ParserElement.__add__>` operators create :class:`And` expressions,
and the strings are auto-converted to :class:`Literal` expressions)::

from pyparsing import Word, alphas

# define grammar of a greeting
    greet = Word(alphas) + "," + Word(alphas) + "!"

hello = "Hello, World!"
    print (hello, "->", greet.parseString(hello))

The program outputs the following::

Hello, World! -> ['Hello', ',', 'World', '!']

The Python representation of the grammar is quite readable, owing to the
self-explanatory class names, and the use of '+', '|' and '^' operators.

The :class:`ParseResults` object returned from
:class:`ParserElement.parseString` can be
accessed as a nested list, a dictionary, or an object with named
attributes.

The pyparsing module handles some of the problems that are typically
vexing when writing text parsers:

- extra or missing whitespace (the above program will also handle
    "Hello,World!", "Hello  ,  World  !", etc.)
  - quoted strings
  - embedded comments

Getting Started -
-----------------
Visit the classes :class:`ParserElement` and :class:`ParseResults` to
see the base classes that most other pyparsing
classes inherit from. Use the docstrings for examples of how to:

- construct literal match expressions from :class:`Literal` and
   :class:`CaselessLiteral` classes
 - construct character word-group expressions using the :class:`Word`
   class
 - see how to create repetitive expressions using :class:`ZeroOrMore`
   and :class:`OneOrMore` classes
 - use :class:`'+'<And>`, :class:`'|'<MatchFirst>`, :class:`'^'<Or>`,
   and :class:`'&'<Each>` operators to combine simple expressions into
   more complex ones
 - associate names with your parsed results using
   :class:`ParserElement.setResultsName`
 - access the parsed data, which is returned as a :class:`ParseResults`
   object
 - find some helpful expression short-cuts like :class:`delimitedList`
   and :class:`oneOf`
 - find more useful common expressions in the :class:`pyparsing_common`
   namespace class

        Define one or more actions to perform when successfully matching parse element definition.

        ``fn(loc, toks)`` , ``fn(toks)`` , or just ``fn()`` , where:

- s   = the original string being parsed (see note below)
        - loc = the location of the matching substring
        - toks = a list of the matched tokens, packaged as a :class:`ParseResults` object

If the functions in fns modify the tokens, they can return them as the return
        value from fn, and the modified list of tokens will replace the original.
        Otherwise, fn does not need to return any value.

If None is passed as the parse action, all previously added parse actions for this
        expression are cleared.

Optional keyword arguments:
        - callDuringTry = (default= ``False``) indicate if parse action should be run during lookaheads and alternate testing

Note: the default parsing behavior is to expand tabs in the input string
        before starting the parsing process.  See :class:`parseString for more
        information on parsing strings containing ``<TAB>`` s, and suggested
        methods to maintain a consistent view of the parsed string, the parse
        location, and line and column positions within the parsed string.

Example::

integer = Word(nums)
            date_str = integer + '/' + integer + '/' + integer

date_str.parseString("1999/12/31")  # -> ['1999', '/', '12', '/', '31']

           Repeated parse attempts at the same string location (which happens
           often in many complex grammars) can immediately return a cached value,
           instead of re-executing parsing/validating code.  Memoizing is done of
           both valid results and parsing exceptions.

Parameters:

- cache_size_limit - (default= ``128``) - if an integer value is provided
             will limit the size of the packrat cache; if None is passed, then
             the cache size will be unbounded; if 0 is passed, the cache will
             be effectively disabled.

This speedup may break existing programs that use parse actions that
           have side-effects.  For this reason, packrat parsing is disabled when
           you first import pyparsing.  To activate the packrat feature, your
           program must call the class method :class:`ParserElement.enablePackrat`.
           For best results, call ``enablePackrat()`` immediately after
           importing pyparsing.

Returns the parsed data as a :class:`ParseResults` object, which may be
        accessed as a list, or as a dict or object with attributes if the given parser
        includes results names.

If you want the grammar to require that the entire input string be
        successfully parsed, then set ``parseAll`` to True (equivalent to ending
        the grammar with ``StringEnd()``).

Note: ``parseString`` implicitly calls ``expandtabs()`` on the input string,
        in order to report proper column numbers in parse actions.
        If the input string contains tabs and
        the grammar uses parse actions that use the ``loc`` argument to index into the
        string being parsed, you can ensure you have a consistent view of the input
        string by:

- calling ``parseWithTabs`` on your grammar before calling ``parseString``
          (see :class:`parseWithTabs`)
        - define your parse action using the full ``(s, loc, toks)`` signature, and
          reference the input string using the parse action's ``s`` argument
        - explictly expand the tabs in your input string before calling
          ``parseString``

    Defined with string containing all allowed initial characters, an
    optional string containing allowed body characters (if omitted,
    defaults to the initial character set), and an optional minimum,
    maximum, and/or exact length.  The default value for ``min`` is
    1 (a minimum value < 1 is not valid); the default values for
    ``max`` and ``exact`` are 0, meaning no maximum or exact
    length restriction. An optional ``excludeChars`` parameter can
    list characters that might be found in the input ``bodyChars``
    string; useful to define a word of all printables except for one or
    two characters, for instance.

:class:`srange` is useful for defining custom character set strings
    for defining ``Word`` expressions, using range notation from
    regular expression character sets.

A common mistake is to use :class:`Word` to match a specific literal
    string, as in ``Word("Address")``. Remember that :class:`Word`
    uses the string argument to define *sets* of matchable characters.
    This expression would match "Add", "AAA", "dAred", or any other word
    made up of the characters 'A', 'd', 'r', 'e', and 's'. To match an
    exact literal string, use :class:`Literal` or :class:`Keyword`.

pyparsing includes helper strings for building Words:

- :class:`alphas`
     - :class:`nums`
     - :class:`alphanums`
     - :class:`hexnums`
     - :class:`alphas8bit` (alphabetic characters in ASCII range 128-255
       - accented, tilded, umlauted, etc.)
     - :class:`punc8bit` (non-alphabetic characters in ASCII range
       128-255 - currency, symbols, superscripts, diacriticals, etc.)
     - :class:`printables` (any non-whitespace character)

Example::

# a word composed of digits
        integer = Word(nums) # equivalent to Word("0123456789") or Word(srange("0-9"))

# a word with a leading capital, and zero or more lowercase
        capital_word = Word(alphas.upper(), alphas.lower())

# hostnames are alphanumeric, with leading alpha, and '-'
        hostname = Word(alphas, alphanums + '-')

# roman numeral (not a strict parser, accepts invalid mix of characters)

- quoteChar - string of one or more characters defining the
          quote delimiting string
        - escChar - character to escape quotes, typically backslash
          (default= ``None``)
        - escQuote - special quote sequence to escape an embedded quote
          string (such as SQL's ``""`` to escape an embedded ``"``)
          (default= ``None``)
        - multiline - boolean indicating whether quotes can span
          multiple lines (default= ``False``)
        - unquoteResults - boolean indicating whether the matched text
          should be unquoted (default= ``True``)
        - endQuoteChar - string of one or more characters defining the
          end of the quote delimited string (default= ``None``  => same as
          quoteChar)
        - convertWhitespaceEscapes - convert escaped whitespace
          (``'\t'``, ``'\n'``, etc.) to actual whitespace
          (default= ``True``)

Example::

qs = QuotedString('"')
        print(qs.searchString('lsjdf "This is the quote" sldjf'))
        complex_qs = QuotedString('{{', endQuoteChar='}}')
        print(complex_qs.searchString('lsjdf {{This is the "quote"}} sldjf'))
        sql_qs = QuotedString('"', escQuote='""')
        print(sql_qs.searchString('lsjdf "This is the quote with ""embedded"" quotes" sldjf'))

prints::

[['This is the quote']]
        [['This is the "quote"']]
        [['This is the quote with "embedded" quotes']]

     - failOn - (default= ``None``) define expressions that are not allowed to be
          included in the skipped test; if found before the target expression is found,
          the SkipTo is not a match

def infixNotation(baseExpr, opList, lpar=Suppress('('), rpar=Suppress(')')):
    """Helper method for constructing grammars of expressions made up of
    operators working in a precedence hierarchy.  Operators may be unary
    or binary, left- or right-associative.  Parse actions can also be
    attached to operator expressions. The generated parser will also
    recognize the use of parentheses to override operator precedences
    (see example below).

Note: if you define a deep operator list, you may see performance
    issues when using infixNotation. See
    :class:`ParserElement.enablePackrat` for a mechanism to potentially
    improve your parser performance.

Parameters:
     - baseExpr - expression representing the most basic element for the
       nested
     - opList - list of tuples, one for each operator precedence level
       in the expression grammar; each tuple is of the form ``(opExpr,
       numTerms, rightLeftAssoc, parseAction)``, where:

- opExpr is the pyparsing expression for the operator; may also
         be a string, which will be converted to a Literal; if numTerms
         is 3, opExpr is a tuple of two expressions, for the two
         operators separating the 3 terms
       - numTerms is the number of terms for this operator (must be 1,
         2, or 3)
       - rightLeftAssoc is the indicator whether the operator is right
         or left associative, using the pyparsing-defined constants
         ``opAssoc.RIGHT`` and ``opAssoc.LEFT``.
       - parseAction is the parse action to be associated with
         expressions matching this operator expression (the parse action
         tuple member may be omitted); if the parse action is passed
         a tuple or list of functions, this is equivalent to calling
         ``setParseAction(*fn)``
         (:class:`ParserElement.setParseAction`)
     - lpar - expression for matching left-parentheses
       (default= ``Suppress('(')``)
     - rpar - expression for matching right-parentheses
       (default= ``Suppress(')')``)
