pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.2.3

Fixed bug released in 3.2.2 in which nested_expr could overwrite parse actions for defined content, and could truncate list of items within a nested list. Fixes Issue #600, reported by hoxbro and luisglft, with helpful diag logs and repro code.

Published by ptmcg 11 months ago

The upcoming version 3.3.0 release will begin emitting DeprecationWarnings for pyparsing methods that have been renamed to PEP8-compliant names (introduced in pyparsing 3.0.0, in August, 2021, with legacy names retained as aliases). In preparation, I have added in pyparsing 3.2.2 a utility for finding and replacing the legacy method names with the new names. This utility is located at pyparsing/tools/cvt_pep8_names.py. This script will scan all Python files specified on the command line, and if the -u option is selected, will replace all occurrences of the old method names with the new PEP8-compliant names, updating the files in place.

Here is an example that converts all the files in the pyparsing /examples directory:

  python -m pyparsing.tools.cvt_pyparsing_pep8_names -u examples/*.py

The new names are compatible with pyparsing versions 3.0.0 and later.

Released cvt_pyparsing_pep8_names.py conversion utility to upgrade pyparsing-based programs and libraries that use legacy camelCase names to use the new PEP8-compliant snake_case method names. The converter can also be imported into other scripts as
```
from pyparsing.tools.cvt_pyparsing_pep8_names import pep8_converter
```
Fixed bug in nested_expr where nested contents were stripped of whitespace when the default whitespace characters were cleared (raised in this StackOverflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79327649 by Ben Alan). Also addressed bug in resolving PEP8 compliant argument name and legacy argument name.
Fixed bug in rest_of_line and the underlying Regex class, in which matching a pattern that could match an empty string (such as ".*" or "[A-Z]*" would not raise a ParseException at or beyond the end of the input string. This could cause an infinite parsing loop when parsing rest_of_line at the end of the input string. Reported by user Kylotan, thanks! (Issue #593)
Enhancements and extra input validation for pyparsing.util.make_compressed_re - see usage in examples/complex_chemical_formulas.py and result in the generated railroad diagram examples/complex_chemical_formulas_diagram.html. Properly escapes characters like "." and "*" that have special meaning in regular expressions.
Fixed bug in one_of() to properly escape characters that are regular expression markers (such as '*', '+', '?', etc.) before building the internal regex.
Better exception message for MatchFirst and Or expressions, showing all alternatives rather than just the first one. Fixes Issue #592, reported by Focke, thanks!
Added return type annotation of "-> None" for all __init__() methods, to satisfy mypy --strict type checking. PR submitted by FeRD, thank you!
Added optional argument show_hidden to create_diagram to show elements that are used internally by pyparsing, but are not part of the actual parser grammar. For instance, the Tag class can insert values into the parsed results but it does not actually parse any input, so by default it is not included in a railroad diagram. By calling create_diagram with show_hidden = True, these internal elements will be included. (You can see this in the tag_metadata.py script in the examples directory.)
Fixed bug in number_words.py example. Also added ebnf_number_words.py to demonstrate using the ebnf.py EBNF parser generator to build a similar parser directly from EBNF.
Fixed syntax warning raised in bigquery_view_parser.py, invalid escape sequence "\s". Reported by sameer-google, nice catch! (Issue #598)
Added support for Python 3.14.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.2.1

Updated generated railroad diagrams to make non-terminal elements links to their related sub-diagrams. This greatly improves navigation of the diagram, especially for large, complex parsers.
Simplified railroad diagrams emitted for parsers using infix_notation, by hiding lookahead terms. Renamed internally generated expressions for clarity, and improved diagramming.
Improved performance of cpp_style_comment, c_style_comment, common.fnumber and common.ieee_float Regex expressions. PRs submitted by Gabriel Gerlero, nice work, thanks!
Add missing type annotations to match_only_at_col, replace_with, remove_quotes, with_attribute, and with_class. Issue #585 reported by rafrafrek.
Added generated diagrams for many of the examples.
Replaced old examples/0README.html file with examples/README.md file.

pyparsing - pyparsing 3.2.0

Version 3.2.0 - October, 2024

Discontinued support for Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. Adopted new Python features from Python versions 3.7-3.9:
- Updated type annotations to use built-in container types instead of names imported from the typing module (e.g., list[str] vs List[str]).
- Reworked portions of the packrat cache to leverage insertion-preserving ordering in dicts (including removal of uses of OrderedDict).
- Changed pdb.set_trace() call in ParserElement.set_break() to breakpoint().
- Converted typing.NamedTuple to dataclasses.dataclass in railroad diagramming code.
- Added from __future__ import annotations to clean up some type annotations. (with assistance from ISyncWithFoo, issue #535, thanks for the help!)
POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGES

The following bugfixes may result in subtle changes in the results returned or exceptions raised by pyparsing.
- Fixed code in ParseElementEnhance subclasses that replaced detailed exception messages raised in contained expressions with a less-specific and less-informative generic exception message and location.
If your code has conditional logic based on the message content in raised ParseExceptions, this bugfix may require changes in your code. - Fixed bug in transform_string() where whitespace in the input string was not properly preserved in the output string.

If your code uses transform_string, this bugfix may require changes in your code. - Fixed bug where an IndexError raised in a parse action was incorrectly handled as an IndexError raised as part of the ParserElement parsing methods, and reraised as a ParseException. Now an IndexError that raises inside a parse action will properly propagate out as an IndexError. (Issue #573, reported by August Karlstedt, thanks!)

If your code raises IndexErrors in parse actions, this bugfix may require changes in your code.
FIXES AND NEW FEATURES
- Added type annotations to remainder of pyparsing package, and added mypy run to tox.ini, so that type annotations are now run as part of pyparsing's CI. Addresses Issue #373, raised by Iwan Aucamp, thanks!
- Exception message format can now be customized, by overriding ParseBaseException.format_message:
  
  def customexceptionmessage(exc) -> str: foundphrase = f", found {exc.found}" if exc.found else "" return f"{exc.lineno}:{exc.column} {exc.msg}{foundphrase}"
  
  ParseBaseException.formattedmessage = customexception_message
(PR #571 submitted by Odysseyas Krystalakos, nice work!) - run_tests now detects if an exception is raised in a parse action, and will report it with an enhanced error message, with the exception type, string, and parse action name. - QuotedString now handles translation of escaped integer, hex, octal, and Unicode sequences to their corresponding characters. - Fixed the displayed output of Regex terms to deduplicate repeated backslashes, for easier reading in debugging, printing, and railroad diagrams. - Fixed (or at least reduced) elusive bug when generating railroad diagrams, where some diagram elements were just empty blocks. Fix submitted by RoDuth, thanks a ton! - Fixed railroad diagrams that get generated with a parser containing a Regex element defined using a verbose pattern - the pattern gets flattened and comments removed before creating the corresponding diagram element. - Defined a more performant regular expression used internally by common_html_entity. - Regex instances can now be created using a callable that takes no arguments and just returns a string or a compiled regular expression, so that creating complex regular expression patterns can be deferred until they are actually used for the first time in the parser. - Added optional flatten Boolean argument to ParseResults.as_list(), to return the parsed values in a flattened list. - Added indent and base_1 arguments to pyparsing.testing.with_line_numbers. When using with_line_numbers inside a parse action, set base_1=False, since the reported loc value is 0-based. indent can be a leading string (typically of spaces or tabs) to indent the numbered string passed to with_line_numbers. Added while working on #557, reported by Bernd Wechner.
NEW/ENHANCED EXAMPLES
- Added query syntax to mongodb_query_expression.py with:
  - better support for array fields ("contains", "contains all", "contains any", and "contains none")
  - "like" and "not like" operators to support SQL "%" wildcard matching and "=~" operator to support regex matching
  - text search using "search for"
  - dates and datetimes as query values
  - a[0] style array referencing
- Added lox_parser.py example, a parser for the Lox language used as a tutorial in Robert Nystrom's "Crafting Interpreters" (http://craftinginterpreters.com/). With helpful corrections from RoDuth.
- Added complex_chemical_formulas.py example, to add parsing capability for formulas such as "3(C₆H₅OH)₂".
- Updated tag_emitter.py to use new Tag class, introduced in pyparsing 3.1.3.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.4

Fixed a regression introduced in pyparsing 3.1.3, addition of a type annotation that referenced re.Pattern. Since this type was introduced in Python 3.7, using this type definition broke Python 3.6 installs of pyparsing 3.1.3. PR submitted by Felix Fontein, nice work!

- Python
Published by ptmcg over 1 year ago

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.3

Added new Tag ParserElement, for inserting metadata into the parsed results. This allows a parser to add metadata or annotations to the parsed tokens. The Tag element also accepts an optional value parameter, defaulting to True. See the new tag_metadata.py example in the examples directory.

Example:

    # add tag indicating mood
    end_punc = "." | ("!" + Tag("enthusiastic")))
    greeting = "Hello" + Word(alphas) + end_punc

    result = greeting.parse_string("Hello World.")
    print(result.dump())

    result = greeting.parse_string("Hello World!")
    print(result.dump())

prints:

    ['Hello', 'World', '.']

    ['Hello', 'World', '!']
    - enthusiastic: True

Added example mongodb_query_expression.py, to convert human-readable infix query expressions (such as a==100 and b>=200) and transform them into the equivalent query argument for the pymongo package ({'$and': [{'a': 100}, {'b': {'$gte': 200}}]}). Supports many equality and inequality operators - see the docstring for the transform_query function for more examples.
Fixed issue where PEP8 compatibility names for ParserElement static methods were not themselves defined as staticmethods. When called using a ParserElement instance, this resulted in a TypeError exception. Reported by eylenburg (#548).
To address a compatibility issue in RDFLib, added a property setter for the ParserElement.name property, to call ParserElement.set_name.
Modified ParserElement.set_name() to accept a None value, to clear the defined name and corresponding error message for a ParserElement.
Updated railroad diagram generation for ZeroOrMore and OneOrMore expressions with stop_on expressions, while investigating #558, reported by user Gu_f.
Added <META> tag to HTML generated for railroad diagrams to force UTF-8 encoding with older browsers, to better display Unicode parser characters.
Fixed some cosmetics/bugs in railroad diagrams:
- fixed groups being shown even when show_groups=False
- show results names as quoted strings when show_results_names=True
- only use integer loop counter if repetition > 2
Some type annotations added for parse action related methods, thanks August Karlstedt (#551).
Added exception type to trace_parse_action exception output, while investigating SO question posted by medihack.
Added set_name calls to internal expressions generated in infix_notation, for improved railroad diagramming.
delta_time, lua_parser, decaf_parser, and roman_numerals examples cleaned up to use latest PEP8 names and add minor enhancements.
Fixed bug (and corresponding test code) in delta_time example that did not handle weekday references in time expressions (like "Monday at 4pm") when the weekday was the same as the current weekday.
Minor performance speedup in trim_arity, to benefit any parsers using parse actions.
Added early testing support for Python 3.13 with JIT enabled.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.2

Support for Python 3.13.
Added ieee_float expression to pyparsing.common, which parses float values, plus "NaN", "Inf", "Infinity". PR submitted by Bob Peterson (#538).
Updated pep8 synonym wrappers for better type checking compatibility. PR submitted by Ricardo Coccioli (#507).
Fixed empty error message bug, PR submitted by InSync (#534). This should return pyparsing's exception messages to a former, more helpful form. If you have code that parses the exception messages returned by pyparsing, this may require some code changes.
Added unit tests to test for exception message contents, with enhancement to pyparsing.testing.assertRaisesParseException to accept an expected exception message.
Updated example select_parser.py to use PEP8 names and added Groups for better retrieval of parsed values from multiple SELECT clauses.
Added example email_address_parser.py, as suggested by John Byrd (#539).
Added example directx_x_file_parser.py to parse DirectX template definitions, and generate a Pyparsing parser from a template to parse .x files.
Some code refactoring to reduce code nesting, PRs submitted by InSync.
All internal string expressions using '%' string interpolation and str.format() converted to f-strings.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.0

NOTE: In the future release 3.2.0, use of many of the pre-PEP8 methods (such as ParserElement.parseString) will start to raise DeprecationWarnings. 3.2.0 should get released some time later in 2023. I currently plan to completely drop the pre-PEP8 methods in pyparsing 4.0, though we won't see that release until at least late 2023 if not 2024. So there is plenty of time to convert existing parsers to the new function names before the old functions are completely removed. (Big help from Devin J. Pohly in structuring the code to enable this peaceful transition.)

Version 3.2.0 will also discontinue support for Python versions 3.6 and 3.7.

Version 3.1.0 - June, 2023

API CHANGES

A slight change has been implemented when unquoting a quoted string parsed using the QuotedString class. Formerly, when unquoting and processing whitespace markers such as \t and \n, these substitutions would occur first, and then any additional '\' escaping would be done on the resulting string. This would parse "\\n" as "\<newline>". Now escapes and whitespace markers are all processed in a single pass working left to right, so the quoted string "\\n" would get unquoted to "\n" (a backslash followed by "n"). Fixes issue #474 raised by jakeanq, thanks!
Reworked delimited_list function into the new DelimitedList class. DelimitedList has the same constructor interface as delimited_list, and in this release, delimited_list changes from a function to a synonym for DelimitedList. delimited_list and the older delimitedList method will be deprecated in a future release, in favor of DelimitedList.
ParserElement.validate() is deprecated. It predates the support for left-recursive parsers, and was prone to false positives (warning that a grammar was invalid when it was in fact valid). It will be removed in a future pyparsing release. In its place, developers should use debugging and analytical tools, such as ParserElement.set_debug() and ParserElement.create_diagram(). (Raised in Issue #444, thanks Andrea Micheli!)

NEW FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS

Optional(expr) may now be written as expr | ""

This will make this code:

  "{" + Optional(Literal("A") | Literal("a")) + "}"

writable as:

  "{" + (Literal("A") | Literal("a") | "") + "}"

Some related changes implemented as part of this work: - Literal("") now internally generates an Empty() (and no longer raises an exception) - Empty is now a subclass of Literal

Suggested by Antony Lee (issue #412), PR (#413) by Devin J. Pohly.

Added new class method ParserElement.using_each, to simplify code that creates a sequence of Literals, Keywords, or other ParserElement subclasses.

For instance, to define suppressible punctuation, you would previously write:

  LPAR, RPAR, LBRACE, RBRACE, SEMI = map(Suppress, "(){};")

You can now write:

  LPAR, RPAR, LBRACE, RBRACE, SEMI = Suppress.using_each("(){};")

using_each will also accept optional keyword args, which it will pass through to the class initializer. Here is an expression for single-letter variable names that might be used in an algebraic expression:

  algebra_var = MatchFirst(
      Char.using_each(string.ascii_lowercase, as_keyword=True)
  )

Added new builtin python_quoted_string, which will match any form of single-line or multiline quoted strings defined in Python. (Inspired by discussion with Andreas Schörgenhumer in Issue #421.)
Extended expr[] notation for repetition of expr to accept a slice, where the slice's stop value indicates a stop_on expression:

test = "BEGIN aaa bbb ccc END" BEGIN, END = Keyword.usingeach("BEGIN END".split()) bodyword = Word(alphas)

expr = BEGIN + Group(bodyword[...:END]) + END # equivalent to # expr = BEGIN + Group(ZeroOrMore(bodyword, stop_on=END)) + END

print(expr.parse_string(test))

Prints:

  ['BEGIN', ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'], 'END']

Added named field "url" to pyparsing.common.url, returning the entire parsed URL string.
Added bool embed argument to ParserElement.create_diagram(). When passed as True, the resulting diagram will omit the <DOCTYPE>, <HEAD>, and <BODY> tags so that it can be embedded in other HTML source. (Useful when embedding a call to create_diagram() in a PyScript HTML page.)
Added recurse argument to ParserElement.set_debug to set the debug flag on an expression and all of its sub-expressions. Requested by multimeric in Issue #399.
Added '·' (Unicode MIDDLE DOT) to the set of Latin1.identbodychars.
ParseResults now has a new method deepcopy(), in addition to the current copy() method. copy() only makes a shallow copy - any contained ParseResults are copied as references - changes in the copy will be seen as changes in the original. In many cases, a shallow copy is sufficient, but some applications require a deep copy. deepcopy() makes a deeper copy: any contained ParseResults or other mappings or containers are built with copies from the original, and do not get changed if the original is later changed. Addresses issue #463, reported by Bryn Pickering.
Added new class property identifier to all Unicode set classes in pyparsing.unicode, using the class's values for cls.identchars and cls.identbodychars. Now Unicode-aware parsers that formerly wrote:

ppu = pyparsing.unicode ident = Word(ppu.Greek.identchars, ppu.Greek.identbodychars)

can now write:

  ident = ppu.Greek.identifier
  # or
  # ident = ppu.Ελληνικά.identifier

Error messages from MatchFirst and Or expressions will try to give more details if one of the alternatives matches better than the others, but still fails. Question raised in Issue #464 by msdemlei, thanks!

BUG FIXES AND GENERAL CHANGES

Added support for Python 3.12.
Updated ci.yml permissions to limit default access to source - submitted by Joyce Brum of Google. Thanks so much!
Updated create_diagram() code to be compatible with railroad-diagrams package version 3.0. Fixes Issue #477 (railroad diagrams generated with black bars), reported by Sam Morley-Short.
Fixed bug in NotAny, where parse actions on the negated expr were not being run. This could cause NotAny to incorrectly fail if the expr would normally match, but would fail to match if a condition used as a parse action returned False. Fixes Issue #482, raised by byaka, thank you!
Fixed create_diagram() to accept keyword args, to be passed through to the template.render() method to generate the output HTML (PR submitted by Aussie Schnore, good catch!)
Fixed bug in python_quoted_string regex.
Fixed bug when parse actions returned an empty string for an expression that had a results name, that the results name was not saved. That is:

expr = Literal("X").addparseaction(lambda tokens: "")("value") result = expr.parse_string("X") print(result["value"])

would raise a KeyError. Now empty strings will be saved with the associated results name. Raised in Issue #470 by Nicco Kunzmann, thank you.

Fixed bug in SkipTo where ignore expressions were not properly handled while scanning for the target expression. Issue #475, reported by elkniwt, thanks (this bug has been there for a looooong time!).
Fixed bug in Word when max=2. Also added performance enhancement when specifying exact argument. Reported in issue #409 by panda-34, nice catch!
Word arguments are now validated if min and max are both given, that min <= max; raises ValueError if values are invalid.
Fixed bug in srange, when parsing escaped '/' and '\' inside a range set.
Fixed exception messages for some ParserElements with custom names, which instead showed their contained expression names.
Fixed bug in pyparsing.common.url, when input URL is not alone on an input line. Fixes Issue #459, reported by David Kennedy.
Multiple added and corrected type annotations. With much help from Stephen Rosen, thanks!
Some documentation and error message clarifications on pyparsing's keyword logic, cited by Basil Peace.
General docstring cleanup for Sphinx doc generation, PRs submitted by Devin J. Pohly. A dirty job, but someone has to do it - much appreciated!

EXAMPLE UPDATES

Added tag_emitter.py to examples. This example demonstrates how to insert tags into your parsed results that are not part of the original parsed text.
Added bf.py Brainf*ck parser/executor example. Illustrates using a pyparsing grammar to parse language syntax, and attach executable AST nodes to the parsed results.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.0b2

Updated create_diagram() code to be compatible with railroad-diagrams package version 3.0. Fixes Issue #477 (railroad diagrams generated with black bars), reported by Sam Morley-Short.
Fixed bug in NotAny, where parse actions on the negated expr were not being run. This could cause NotAny to incorrectly fail if the expr would normally match, but would fail to match if a condition used as a parse action returned False. Fixes Issue #482, raised by byaka, thank you!
Fixed create_diagram() to accept keyword args, to be passed through to the template.render() method to generate the output HTML (PR submitted by Aussie Schnore, good catch!)
Fixed bug in python_quoted_string regex.
Added examples/bf.py Brainf*ck parser/executor example. Illustrates using a pyparsing grammar to parse language syntax, and attach executable AST nodes to the parsed results.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.0b1

Added support for Python 3.12.
API CHANGE: A slight change has been implemented when unquoting a quoted string parsed using the QuotedString class. Formerly, when unquoting and processing whitespace markers such as \t and \n, these substitutions would occur first, and then any additional '\' escaping would be done on the resulting string. This would parse "\n" as "<newline>". Now escapes and whitespace markers are all processed in a single pass working left to right, so the quoted string "\n" would get unquoted to "\n" (a backslash followed by "n"). Fixes issue #474 raised by jakeanq, thanks!
Added named field "url" to pyparsing.common.url, returning the entire parsed URL string.
Fixed bug when parse actions returned an empty string for an expression that had a results name, that the results name was not saved. That is:

expr = Literal("X").addparseaction(lambda tokens: "")("value") result = expr.parse_string("X") print(result["value"])

would raise a KeyError. Now empty strings will be saved with the associated results name. Raised in Issue #470 by Nicco Kunzmann, thank you.

Fixed bug in SkipTo where ignore expressions were not properly handled while scanning for the target expression. Issue #475, reported by elkniwt, thanks (this bug has been there for a looooong time!).

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.1.0a1

NOTE: In the future release 3.2.0, use of many of the pre-PEP8 methods (such as ParserElement.parseString) will start to raise DeprecationWarnings. 3.2.0 should get released some time later in 2023. I currently plan to completely drop the pre-PEP8 methods in pyparsing 4.0, though we won't see that release until at least late 2023 if not 2024. So there is plenty of time to convert existing parsers to the new function names before the old functions are completely removed. (Big help from Devin J. Pohly in structuring the code to enable this peaceful transition.)

Version 3.2.0 will also discontinue support for Python versions 3.6 and 3.7.

API ENHANCEMENT: Optional(expr) may now be written as expr | ""

This will make this code:

  "{" + Optional(Literal("A") | Literal("a")) + "}"

writable as:

  "{" + (Literal("A") | Literal("a") | "") + "}"

Some related changes implemented as part of this work: - Literal("") now internally generates an Empty() (and no longer raises an exception) - Empty is now a subclass of Literal

Suggested by Antony Lee (issue #412), PR (#413) by Devin J. Pohly.

Added new class property identifier to all Unicode set classes in pyparsing.unicode, using the class's values for cls.identchars and cls.identbodychars. Now Unicode-aware parsers that formerly wrote:

ppu = pyparsing.unicode ident = Word(ppu.Greek.identchars, ppu.Greek.identbodychars)

can now write:

  ident = ppu.Greek.identifier
  # or
  # ident = ppu.Ελληνικά.identifier

Reworked delimited_list function into the new DelimitedList class. DelimitedList has the same constructor interface as delimited_list, and in this release, delimited_list changes from a function to a synonym for DelimitedList. delimited_list and the older delimitedList method will be deprecated in a future release, in favor of DelimitedList.
Added new class method ParserElement.using_each, to simplify code that creates a sequence of Literals, Keywords, or other ParserElement subclasses.

For instance, to define suppressable punctuation, you would previously write:

  LPAR, RPAR, LBRACE, RBRACE, SEMI = map(Suppress, "(){};")

You can now write:

  LPAR, RPAR, LBRACE, RBRACE, SEMI = Suppress.using_each("(){};")

using_each will also accept optional keyword args, which it will pass through to the class initializer. Here is an expression for single-letter variable names that might be used in an algebraic expression:

  algebra_var = MatchFirst(
      Char.using_each(string.ascii_lowercase, as_keyword=True)
  )

Added new builtin python_quoted_string, which will match any form of single-line or multiline quoted strings defined in Python. (Inspired by discussion with Andreas Schörgenhumer in Issue #421.)
Extended expr[] notation for repetition of expr to accept a slice, where the slice's stop value indicates a stop_on expression:

test = "BEGIN aaa bbb ccc END" BEGIN, END = Keyword.usingeach("BEGIN END".split()) bodyword = Word(alphas)

expr = BEGIN + Group(bodyword[:END]) + END # equivalent to # expr = BEGIN + Group(ZeroOrMore(bodyword, stop_on=END)) + END

print(expr.parse_string(test))

Prints:

  ['BEGIN', ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'], 'END']

ParserElement.validate() is deprecated. It predates the support for left-recursive parsers, and was prone to false positives (warning that a grammar was invalid when it was in fact valid). It will be removed in a future pyparsing release. In its place, developers should use debugging and analytical tools, such as ParserElement.set_debug() and ParserElement.create_diagram(). (Raised in Issue #444, thanks Andrea Micheli!)
Added bool embed argument to ParserElement.create_diagram(). When passed as True, the resulting diagram will omit the <DOCTYPE>, <HEAD>, and <BODY> tags so that it can be embedded in other HTML source. (Useful when embedding a call to create_diagram() in a PyScript HTML page.)
Added recurse argument to ParserElement.set_debug to set the debug flag on an expression and all of its sub-expressions. Requested by multimeric in Issue #399.
Added '·' (Unicode MIDDLE DOT) to the set of pp.unicode.Latin1.identbodychars.
Fixed bug in Word when max=2. Also added performance enhancement when specifying exact argument. Reported in issue #409 by panda-34, nice catch!
Word arguments are now validated if min and max are both given, that min <= max; raises ValueError if values are invalid.
Fixed bug in srange, when parsing escaped '/' and '\' inside a range set.
Fixed exception messages for some ParserElements with custom names, which instead showed their contained expression names.
Fixed bug in pyparsing.common.url, when input URL is not alone on an input line. Fixes Issue #459, reported by David Kennedy.
Multiple added and corrected type annotations. With much help from Stephen Rosen, thanks!
Some documentation and error message clarifications on pyparsing's keyword logic, cited by Basil Peace.

Added optional "min" and "max" arguments to delimited_list. PR submitted by Marius, thanks!
Added new API change note in whats_new_in_pyparsing_3_0_0, regarding a bug fix in the bool() behavior of ParseResults.

Prior to pyparsing 3.0.x, the ParseResults class implementation of __bool__ would return False if the ParseResults item list was empty, even if it contained named results. In 3.0.0 and later, ParseResults will return True if either the item list is not empty or if the named results dict is not empty.

  # generate an empty ParseResults by parsing a blank string with
  # a ZeroOrMore
  result = Word(alphas)[...].parse_string("")
  print(result.as_list())
  print(result.as_dict())
  print(bool(result))

  # add a results name to the result
  result["name"] = "empty result"
  print(result.as_list())
  print(result.as_dict())
  print(bool(result))

Prints:

  []
  {}
  False

  []
  {'name': 'empty result'}
  True

In previous versions, the second call to bool() would return False.

Minor enhancement to Word generation of internal regular expression, to emit consecutive characters in range, such as "ab", as "ab", not "a-b".
Fixed character ranges for search terms using non-Western characters in booleansearchparser, PR submitted by tc-yu, nice work!

pyparsing - pyparsing 3.0.4

Fixed bug in which Dict classes did not correctly return tokens as nested ParseResults, reported by and fix identified by Bu Sun Kim, many thanks!!!
Documented API-changing side-effect of converting ParseResults to use __slots__ to pre-define instance attributes. This means that code written like this (which was allowed in pyparsing 2.4.7):

result = Word(alphas).parseString("abc") result.xyz = 100

now raises this Python exception:

  AttributeError: 'ParseResults' object has no attribute 'xyz'

To add new attribute values to ParseResults object in 3.0.0 and later, you must assign them using indexed notation:

  result["xyz"] = 100

You will still be able to access this new value as an attribute or as an indexed item.

pyparsing - pyparsing 3.0.2

Reverted change in behavior with LineStart and StringStart, which changed the interpretation of when and how LineStart and StringStart should match when a line starts with spaces. In 3.0.0, the xxxStart expressions were not really treated like expressions in their own right, but as modifiers to the following expression when used like LineStart() + expr, so that if there were whitespace on the line before expr (which would match in versions prior to 3.0.0), the match would fail.

3.0.0 implemented this by automatically promoting LineStart() + expr to AtLineStart(expr), which broke existing parsers that did not expect expr to necessarily be right at the start of the line, but only be the first token found on the line. This was reported as a regression in Issue #317.

In 3.0.2, pyparsing reverts to the previous behavior, but will retain the new AtLineStart and AtStringStart expression classes, so that parsers can chose whichever behavior applies in their specific instance. Specifically:

  # matches expr if it is the first token on the line (allows for leading whitespace)
  LineStart() + expr

  # matches only if expr is found in column 1
  AtLineStart(expr)

Performance enhancement to one_of to always generate an internal Regex, even if caseless or as_keyword args are given as True (unless explicitly disabled by passing use_regex=False).
IndentedBlock class now works with recursive flag. By default, the results parsed by an IndentedBlock are grouped. This can be disabled by constructing the IndentedBlock with grouped=False.

Version 3.0.0.final -

Added support for python -W warning option to call enableallwarnings() at startup. Also detects setting of PYPARSINGENABLEALLWARNINGS environment variable to any non-blank value.
Fixed named results returned by url to match fields as they would be parsed using urllib.parse.urlparse.
Early response to with_line_numbers was positive, with some requested enhancements: . added a trailing "|" at the end of each line (to show presence of trailing spaces); can be customized using eol_mark argument . added expandtabs argument, to control calling str.expandtabs (defaults to True to match parseString) . added markspaces argument to support display of a printing character in place of spaces, or Unicode symbols for space and tab characters . added mark_control argument to support highlighting of control characters using '.' or Unicode symbols, such as "␍" and "␊".
Modified helpers commonhtmlentity and replacehtmlentity() to use the HTML entity definitions from html.entities.html5.
Updated the class diagram in the pyparsing docs directory, along with the supporting .puml file (PlantUML markup) used to create the diagram.
Added global method autoname_elements() to call set_name() on all locally defined ParserElements that haven't been explicitly named using set_name(), using their local variable name. Useful for setting names on multiple elements when creating a railroad diagram.
```
    a = pp.Literal("a")
    b = pp.Literal("b").set_name("bbb")
    pp.autoname_elements()
```

a will get named "a", while b will keep its name "bbb".

Added url expression to pyparsing_common. (Sample code posted by Wolfgang Fahl, very nice!)

This new expression has been added to the urlExtractorNew.py example, to show how it extracts URL fields into separate results names.

Added method to pyparsing_testing to help debugging, with_line_numbers. Returns a string with line and column numbers corresponding to values shown when parsing with expr.set_debug():

data = """\ A 100""" expr = pp.Word(pp.alphanums).setname("word").setdebug() print(ppt.withlinenumbers(data)) expr[...].parseString(data)

prints:

                1
       1234567890
     1:   A
     2:      100
    Match word at loc 3(1,4)
         A

    Matched word -> ['A']
    Match word at loc 11(2,7)
            100
            ^
    Matched word -> ['100']

Added new example cuneiform_python.py to demonstrate creating a new Unicode range, and writing a Cuneiform->Python transformer (inspired by zhpy).
Fixed issue #272, reported by PhasecoreX, when LineStart() expressions would match expressions that were not necessarily at the beginning of a line.

As part of this fix, two new classes have been added: AtLineStart and AtStringStart. The following expressions are equivalent:

  LineStart() + expr      and     AtLineStart(expr)
  StringStart() + expr    and     AtStringStart(expr)

Fixed ParseFatalExceptions failing to override normal exceptions or expression matches in MatchFirst expressions. Addresses issue #251, reported by zyp-rgb.
Fixed bug in which ParseResults replaces a collection type value with an invalid type annotation (changed behavior in Python 3.9). Addresses issue #276, reported by Rob Shuler, thanks.

Railroad diagrams have been reformatted: . creating diagrams is easier - call
```
expr.create_diagram("diagram_output.html")
```
create_diagram() takes 3 arguments: . the filename to write the diagram HTML . optional 'vertical' argument, to specify the minimum number of items in a path to be shown vertically; default=3 . optional 'showresultsnames' argument, to specify whether results name annotations should be shown; default=False

. every expression that gets a name using setName() gets separated out as a separate subdiagram . results names can be shown as annotations to diagram items . Each, FollowedBy, and PrecededBy elements get [ALL], [LOOKAHEAD], and [LOOKBEHIND] annotations . removed annotations for Suppress elements . some diagram cleanup when a grammar contains Forward elements . check out the examples make_diagram.py and railroad_diagram_demo.py

Type annotations have been added to most public API methods and classes.
Better exception messages to show full word where an exception occurred.

Word(alphas)[...].parseString("abc 123", parseAll=True)

  pyparsing.ParseException: Expected end of text, found '1'  (at char 4), (line:1, col:5)

Now:

  pyparsing.exceptions.ParseException: Expected end of text, found '123'  (at char 4), (line:1, col:5)

Suppress can be used to suppress text skipped using "...".

source = "lead in START relevant text END trailing text" startmarker = Keyword("START") endmarker = Keyword("END") findbody = Suppress(...) + startmarker + ... + endmarker print(findbody.parseString(source).dump())

Prints:

  ['START', 'relevant text ', 'END']

New string constants identchars and identbodychars to help in defining identifier Word expressions

Two new module-level strings have been added to help when defining identifiers, identchars and identbodychars.

Instead of writing::

  import pyparsing as pp
  identifier = pp.Word(pp.alphas + "_", pp.alphanums + "_")

  cjk_identifier = pp.Word(ppu.CJK.identchars, ppu.CJK.identbodychars)
  greek_identifier = pp.Word(ppu.Greek.identchars, ppu.Greek.identbodychars)

pyparsing -

PEP-8 compatible names are being introduced in pyparsing version 3.0! All methods such as parseString have been replaced with the PEP-8 compliant name parse_string. In addition, arguments such as parseAll have been renamed to parse_all. For backward-compatibility, synonyms for all renamed methods and arguments have been added, so that existing pyparsing parsers will not break. These synonyms will be removed in a future release.

In addition, the Optional class has been renamed to Opt, since it clashes with the common typing.Optional type specifier that is used in the Python type annotations. A compatibility synonym is defined for now, but will be removed in a future release.

HUGE NEW FEATURE - Support for left-recursive parsers! Following the method used in Python's PEG parser, pyparsing now supports left-recursive parsers when left recursion is enabled.

import pyparsing as pp
pp.ParserElement.enable_left_recursion()

# a common left-recursion definition
# define a list of items as 'list + item | item'
# BNF:
#   item_list := item_list item | item
#   item := word of alphas
item_list = pp.Forward()
item = pp.Word(pp.alphas)
item_list <<= item_list + item | item

item_list.run_tests("""\
    To parse or not to parse that is the question
    """)

Prints:

['To', 'parse', 'or', 'not', 'to', 'parse', 'that', 'is', 'the', 'question']

Great work contributed by Max Fischer!

delimited_list now supports an additional flag allow_trailing_delim, to optionally parse an additional delimiter at the end of the list. Contributed by Kazantcev Andrey, thanks!

locatedExpr is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.0.0b1

API CHANGE Diagnostic flags have been moved to an enum, pyparsing.Diagnostics, and they are enabled through module-level methods:
- pyparsing.enable_diag()
- pyparsing.disable_diag()
- pyparsing.enable_all_warnings()
API CHANGE Most previous SyntaxWarnings that were warned when using pyparsing classes incorrectly have been converted to TypeError and ValueError exceptions, consistent with Python calling conventions. All warnings warned by diagnostic flags have been converted from SyntaxWarnings to UserWarnings.
To support parsers that are intended to generate native Python collection types such as lists and dicts, the Group and Dict classes now accept an additional boolean keyword argument aslist and asdict respectively. See the jsonParser.py example in the pyparsing/examples source directory for how to return types as ParseResults and as Python collection types, and the distinctions in working with the different types.

In addition parse actions that must return a value of list type (which would normally be converted internally to a ParseResults) can override this default behavior by returning their list wrapped in the new ParseResults.List class:

  # this parse action tries to return a list, but pyparsing
  # will convert to a ParseResults
  def return_as_list_but_still_get_parse_results(tokens):
      return tokens.asList()

  # this parse action returns the tokens as a list, and pyparsing will
  # maintain its list type in the final parsing results
  def return_as_list(tokens):
      return ParseResults.List(tokens.asList())

This is the mechanism used internally by the Group class when defined using aslist=True.

A new IndentedBlock class is introduced, to eventually replace the current indentedBlock helper method. The interface is largely the same, however, the new class manages its own internal indentation stack, so it is no longer necessary to maintain an external indentStack variable.
API CHANGE Added cache_hit keyword argument to debug actions. Previously, if packrat parsing was enabled, the debug methods were not called in the event of cache hits. Now these methods will be called, with an added argument cache_hit=True.

If you are using packrat parsing and enable debug on expressions using a custom debug method, you can add the cache_hit=False keyword argument, and your method will be called on packrat cache hits. If you choose not to add this keyword argument, the debug methods will fail silently, behaving as they did previously.

When using setDebug with packrat parsing enabled, packrat cache hits will now be included in the output, shown with a leading '*'. (Previously, cache hits and responses were not included in debug output.) For those using custom debug actions, see the previous item regarding an optional API change for those methods.
setDebug output will also show more details about what expression is about to be parsed (the current line of text being parsed, and the current parse position):
```
Match integer at loc 0(1,1)
  1 2 3
  ^
Matched integer -> ['1']
```

The current debug location will also be indicated after whitespace has been skipped (was previously inconsistent, reported in Issue #244, by Frank Goyens, thanks!).

Modified the repr() output for ParseResults to include the class name as part of the output. This is to clarify for new pyparsing users who misread the repr output as a tuple of a list and a dict. pyparsing results will now read like:

ParseResults(['abc', 'def'], {'qty': 100}]

instead of just:

  (['abc', 'def'], {'qty': 100}]

Fixed bugs in Each when passed OneOrMore or ZeroOrMore expressions: . first expression match could be enclosed in an extra nesting level . out-of-order expressions now handled correctly if mixed with required expressions . results names are maintained correctly for these expressions
Fixed traceback trimming, and added ParserElement.verbose_traceback save/restore to reset_pyparsing_context().

Default string for Word expressions now also include indications of min and max length specification, if applicable, similar to regex length specifications:

Word(alphas)             -> "W:(A-Za-z)"
Word(nums)               -> "W:(0-9)"
Word(nums, exact=3)      -> "W:(0-9){3}"
Word(nums, min=2)        -> "W:(0-9){2,...}"
Word(nums, max=3)        -> "W:(0-9){1,3}"
Word(nums, min=2, max=3) -> "W:(0-9){2,3}"

For expressions of the Char class (similar to Word(..., exact=1), the expression is simply the character range in parentheses:

    Char(nums)               -> "(0-9)"
    Char(alphas)             -> "(A-Za-z)"

Removed copy() override in Keyword class which did not preserve definition of ident chars from the original expression. PR #233 submitted by jgrey4296, thanks!
In addition to pyparsing.__version__, there is now also a pyparsing.__version_info__, following the same structure and field names as in sys.version_info.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 3.0.0a2

Version 3.0.0a2 - June, 2020

Summary of changes for 3.0.0 can be found in "What's New in Pyparsing 3.0.0" documentation.
API CHANGE Changed result returned when parsing using countedArray, the array items are no longer returned in a doubly-nested list.

An excellent new enhancement is the new railroad diagram generator for documenting pyparsing parsers:

import pyparsing as pp
from pyparsing.diagram import to_railroad, railroad_to_html
from pathlib import Path

# define a simple grammar for parsing street addresses such
# as "123 Main Street"
#     number word...
number = pp.Word(pp.nums).setName("number")
name = pp.Word(pp.alphas).setName("word")[1, ...]

parser = number("house_number") + name("street")
parser.setName("street address")

# construct railroad track diagram for this parser and
# save as HTML
rr = to_railroad(parser)
Path('parser_rr_diag.html').write_text(railroad_to_html(rr))

Very nice work provided by Michael Milton, thanks a ton!

Enhanced default strings created for Word expressions, now showing string ranges if possible. Word(alphas) would formerly print as W:(ABCD...), now prints as W:(A-Za-z).
Added ignoreWhitespace(recurse:bool = True) and added a recurse argument to leaveWhitespace, both added to provide finer control over pyparsing's whitespace skipping. Also contributed by Michael Milton.
The unicode range definitions for the various languages were recalculated by interrogating the unicodedata module by character name, selecting characters that contained that language in their Unicode name. (Issue #227)

Also, pyparsing_unicode.Korean was renamed to Hangul (Korean is also defined as a synonym for compatibility).

Enhanced ParseResults dump() to show both results names and list subitems. Fixes bug where adding a results name would hide lower-level structures in the ParseResults.
Added new __diag__ warnings:

"warnonparseusingempty_Forward" - warns that a Forward has been included in a grammar, but no expression was attached to it using '<<=' or '<<'

"warnonassignmenttoForward" - warns that a Forward has been created, but was probably later overwritten by erroneously using '=' instead of '<<=' (this is a common mistake when using Forwards) (currently not working on PyPy)
Added ParserElement.recurse() method to make it simpler for grammar utilities to navigate through the tree of expressions in a pyparsing grammar.
Fixed bug in ParseResults repr() which showed all matching entries for a results name, even if listAllMatches was set to False when creating the ParseResults originally. Reported by Nicholas42 on GitHub, good catch! (Issue #205)
Modified refactored modules to use relative imports, as pointed out by setuptools project member jaraco, thank you!
Off-by-one bug found in the roman_numerals.py example, a bug that has been there for about 14 years! PR submitted by Jay Pedersen, nice catch!
A simplified Lua parser has been added to the examples (lua_parser.py).
Added make_diagram.py to the examples directory to demonstrate creation of railroad diagrams for selected pyparsing examples. Also restructured some examples to make their parsers importable without running their embedded tests.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.4.2

Version 2.4.2 - July, 2019

Updated the shorthand notation that has been added for repetition expressions: expr[min, max], with '...' valid as a min or max value:
- expr[...] and expr[0, ...] are equivalent to ZeroOrMore(expr)
- expr[1, ...] is equivalent to OneOrMore(expr)
- expr[n, ...] or expr[n,] is equivalent to expr*n + ZeroOrMore(expr) (read as "n or more instances of expr")
- expr[..., n] is equivalent to expr*(0, n)
- expr[m, n] is equivalent to expr*(m, n) Note that expr[..., n] and expr[m, n] do not raise an exception if more than n exprs exist in the input stream. If this behavior is desired, then write expr[..., n] + ~expr.

Better interpretation of [...] as ZeroOrMore raised by crowsonkb, thanks for keeping me in line!

If upgrading from 2.4.1 or 2.4.1.1 and you have used expr[...] for OneOrMore(expr), it must be updated to expr[1, ...].

The defaults on all the __diag__ switches have been set to False, to avoid getting alarming warnings. To use these diagnostics, set them to True after importing pyparsing.

Example:

  import pyparsing as pp
  pp.__diag__.warn_multiple_tokens_in_named_alternation = True

Fixed bug introduced by the use of getitem for repetition, overlooking Python's legacy implementation of iteration by sequentially calling getitem with increasing numbers until getting an IndexError. Found during investigation of problem reported by murlock, merci!

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.4.1.1

This is a re-release of version 2.4.1 to restore the release history in PyPI, since the 2.4.1 release was deleted.

There are 3 known issues in this release, which are fixed in the upcoming 2.4.2:

API change adding support for expr[...] - the original code in 2.4.1 incorrectly implemented this as OneOrMore. Code using this feature under this relase should explicitly use expr[0, ...] for ZeroOrMore and expr[1, ...] for OneOrMore. In 2.4.2 you will be able to write expr[...] equivalent to ZeroOrMore(expr).
Bug if composing And, Or, MatchFirst, or Each expressions using an expression. This only affects code which uses explicit expression construction using the And, Or, etc. classes instead of using overloaded operators '+', '^', and so on. If constructing an And using a single expression, you may get an error that "cannot multiply ParserElement by 0 or (0, 0)" or a Python IndexError. Change code like

cmd = Or(Word(alphas))

to

  cmd = Or([Word(alphas)])

(Note that this is not the recommended style for constructing Or expressions.)

Some newly-added __diag__ switches are enabled by default, which may give rise to noisy user warnings for existing parsers. You can disable them using:

import pyparsing as pp pp.diag.warnmultipletokensinnamedalternation = False pp.diag.warnungroupednamedtokensincollection = False pp.diag.warnnamesetonemptyForward = False pp.diag.warnonmultiplestringargstooneof = False pp.diag.enabledebugonnamed_expressions = False

In 2.4.2 these will all be set to False by default.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.4.2a1

Release candidate for 2.4.2:

FIxes incorrect implementation of expr[…] as OneOrMore, changed to ZeroOrMore
Fixes __getitem__-induced iterability for ParserElement class
__diag__ flags are now all False by default

- Python
Published by ptmcg over 6 years ago

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.4.1

For a minor point release, this release contains many new features!

A new shorthand notation has been added for repetition expressions: expr[min, max], with ... valid as a min or max value:
- expr[...] is equivalent to OneOrMore(expr)
- expr[0, ...] is equivalent to ZeroOrMore(expr)
- expr[1, ...] is equivalent to OneOrMore(expr)
- expr[n, ...] or expr[n,] is equivalent to expr*n + ZeroOrMore(expr) (read as "n or more instances of expr")
- expr[..., n] is equivalent to expr*(0, n)
- expr[m, n] is equivalent to expr*(m, n) Note that expr[..., n] and expr[m, n] do not raise an exception if more than n exprs exist in the input stream. If this behavior is desired, then write expr[..., n] + ~expr.
... can also be used as short hand for SkipTo when used in adding parse expressions to compose an And expression.

Literal('start') + ... + Literal('end') And(['start', ..., 'end'])

are both equivalent to:

  Literal('start') + SkipTo('end')("_skipped*") + Literal('end')

The ... form has the added benefit of not requiring repeating the skip target expression. Note that the skipped text is returned with 'skipped' as a results name, and that the contents of `skippedwill contain a list of text from all...`s in the expression.

... can also be used as a "skip forward in case of error" expression:

expr = "start" + (Word(nums).setName("int") | ...) + "end"

expr.parseString("start 456 end")
['start', '456', 'end']

expr.parseString("start 456 foo 789 end")
['start', '456', 'foo 789 ', 'end']
- _skipped: ['foo 789 ']

expr.parseString("start foo end")
['start', 'foo ', 'end']
- _skipped: ['foo ']

expr.parseString("start end")
['start', '', 'end']
- _skipped: ['missing <int>']

Note that in all the error cases, the '_skipped' results name is present, showing a list of the extra or missing items.

This form is only valid when used with the '|' operator.

Improved exception messages to show what was actually found, not just what was expected.

word = pp.Word(pp.alphas)
pp.OneOrMore(word).parseString("aaa bbb 123", parseAll=True)

Former exception message:

    pyparsing.ParseException: Expected end of text (at char 8), (line:1, col:9)

New exception message:

    pyparsing.ParseException: Expected end of text, found '1' (at char 8), (line:1, col:9)

Added diagnostic switches to help detect and warn about common parser construction mistakes, or enable additional parse debugging. Switches are attached to the pyparsing.__diag__ namespace object:
- warn_multiple_tokens_in_named_alternation - flag to enable warnings when a results name is defined on a MatchFirst or Or expression with one or more And subexpressions (default=True)
- warn_ungrouped_named_tokens_in_collection - flag to enable warnings when a results name is defined on a containing expression with ungrouped subexpressions that also have results names (default=True)
- warn_name_set_on_empty_Forward - flag to enable warnings whan a Forward is defined with a results name, but has no contents defined (default=False)
- warn_on_multiple_string_args_to_oneof - flag to enable warnings whan oneOf is incorrectly called with multiple str arguments (default=True)
- enable_debug_on_named_expressions - flag to auto-enable debug on all subsequent calls to ParserElement.setName() (default=False)

warn_multiple_tokens_in_named_alternation is intended to help those who currently have set __compat__.collect_all_And_tokens to False as a workaround for using the pre-2.3.1 code with named MatchFirst or Or expressions containing an And expression.

Added ParseResults.from_dict classmethod, to simplify creation of a ParseResults with results names using a dict, which may be nested. This makes it easy to add a sub-level of named items to the parsed tokens in a parse action.
Added asKeyword argument (default=False) to oneOf, to force keyword-style matching on the generated expressions.
ParserElement.runTests now accepts an optional 'file' argument to redirect test output to a file-like object (such as a StringIO, or opened file). Default is to write to sys.stdout.
conditionAsParseAction is a helper method for constructing a parse action method from a predicate function that simply returns a boolean result. Useful for those places where a predicate cannot be added using addCondition, but must be converted to a parse action (such as in infixNotation). May be used as a decorator if default message and exception types can be used. See ParserElement.addCondition for more details about the expected signature and behavior for predicate condition methods.
While investigating issue #93, I found that Or and addCondition could interact to select an alternative that is not the longest match. This is because Or first checks all alternatives for matches without running attached parse actions or conditions, orders by longest match, and then rechecks for matches with conditions and parse actions. Some expressions, when checking with conditions, may end up matching on a shorter token list than originally matched, but would be selected because of its original priority. This matching code has been expanded to do more extensive searching for matches when a second-pass check matches a smaller list than in the first pass.
Fixed issue #87, a regression in indented block. Reported by Renz Bagaporo, who submitted a very nice repro example, which makes the bug-fixing process a lot easier, thanks!
Fixed MemoryError issue #85 and #91 with str generation for Forwards. Thanks decalage2 and Harmon758 for your patience.
Modified setParseAction to accept None as an argument, indicating that all previously-defined parse actions for the expression should be cleared.
Modified pyparsing_common.real and sci_real to parse reals without leading integer digits before the decimal point, consistent with Python real number formats. Original PR #98 submitted by ansobolev.
Modified runTests to call postParse function before dumping out the parsed results - allows for postParse to add further results, such as indications of additional validation success/failure.
Updated statemachine example: refactored state transitions to use overridden classmethods; added <statename>Mixin class to simplify definition of application classes that "own" the state object and delegate to it to model state-specific properties and behavior.
Added example nested_markup.py, showing a simple wiki markup with nested markup directives, and illustrating the use of ... for skipping over input to match the next expression. (This example uses syntax that is not valid under Python 2.)
Rewrote delta_time.py example (renamed from deltaTime.py) to fix some omitted formats and upgrade to latest pyparsing idioms, beginning with writing an actual BNF.
With the help and encouragement from several contributors, including Matej Cepl and Cengiz Kaygusuz, I've started cleaning up the internal coding styles in core pyparsing, bringing it up to modern coding practices from pyparsing's early development days dating back to 2003. Whitespace has been largely standardized along PEP8 guidelines, removing extra spaces around parentheses, and adding them around arithmetic operators and after colons and commas. I was going to hold off on doing this work until after 2.4.1, but after cleaning up a few trial classes, the difference was so significant that I continued on to the rest of the core code base. This should facilitate future work and submitted PRs, allowing them to focus on substantive code changes, and not get sidetracked by whitespace issues.
NOTE: Deprecated functions and features that will be dropped in pyparsing 2.5.0 (planned next release):
- support for Python 2 - ongoing users running with Python 2 can continue to use pyparsing 2.4.1
- ParseResults.asXML() - if used for debugging, switch to using ParseResults.dump(); if used for data transfer, use ParseResults.asDict() to convert to a nested Python dict, which can then be converted to XML or JSON or other transfer format
- operatorPrecedence synonym for infixNotation - convert to calling infixNotation
- commaSeparatedList - convert to using pyparsing_common.comma_separated_list
- upcaseTokens and downcaseTokens - convert to using pyparsing_common.upcaseTokens and downcaseTokens
- __compat__.collect_all_And_tokens will not be settable to False to revert to pre-2.3.1 results name behavior - review use of names for MatchFirst and Or expressions containing And expressions, as they will return the complete list of parsed tokens, not just the first one. Use __diag__.warn_multiple_tokens_in_named_alternation to help identify those expressions in your parsers that will have changed as a result.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.4.0

Well, it looks like the API change that was introduced in 2.3.1 was more drastic than expected, so for a friendlier forward upgrade path, this release: . Bumps the current version number to 2.4.0, to reflect this incompatible change. . Adds a pyparsing.__compat__ object for specifying compatibility with future breaking changes. . Conditionalizes the API-breaking behavior, based on the value pyparsing.__compat__.collect_all_And_tokens. By default, this value will be set to True, reflecting the new bugfixed behavior. To set this value to False, add to your code:
```
import pyparsing
pyparsing.__compat__.collect_all_And_tokens = False
```

. User code that is dependent on the pre-bugfix behavior can restore it by setting this value to False.

In 2.5 and later versions, the conditional code will be removed and setting the flag to True or False in these later versions will have no effect.

Updated unitTests.py and simpleunittests.py to be compatible with python setup.py test. To run tests using setup, do:

python setup.py test python setup.py test -s unitTests.suite python setup.py test -s simpleunittests.suite

Prompted by issue #83 and PR submitted by bdragon28, thanks.

Fixed bug in ParserElement.runTests handling '\n' literals in quoted strings.
Added tag_body attribute to the start tag expressions generated by makeHTMLTags, so that you can avoid using SkipTo to roll your own tag body expression:

a, aEnd = pp.makeHTMLTags('a') link = a + a.tagbody("displayedtext") + aEnd for t in s.searchString(htmlpage): print(t.displayedtext, '->', t.startA.href)
indentedBlock failure handling was improved; PR submitted by TMiguelT, thanks!
Address Py2 incompatibility in simple_unit_tests, plus explain() and Forward str() cleanup; PRs graciously provided by eswald.
Fixed docstring with embedded '\w', which creates SyntaxWarnings in Py3.8, issue #80.
Examples:
- Added example parser for rosettacode.org tutorial compiler.
- Added example to show how an HTML table can be parsed into a collection of Python lists or dicts, one per row.
- Updated SimpleSQL.py example to handle nested selects, reworked 'where' expression to use infixNotation.
- Added include_preprocessor.py, similar to macroExpander.py.
- Examples using makeHTMLTags use new tag_body expression when retrieving a tag's body text.
- Updated examples that are runnable as unit tests:
  
  python setup.py test -s examples.antlrgrammartests python setup.py test -s examples.test_bibparse

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.3.1

New features in Pyparsing 2.3.1 -

ParseException.explain() method, to convert a raw Python traceback into a list of the parse expressions leading up to a parse mismatch.

New unicode sets Latin-A and Latin-B, and the ability to define custom sets using multiple inheritance.

class Turkish_set(pp.pyparsing_unicode.Latin1, pp.pyparsing_unicode.LatinA):
    pass

turkish_word = pp.Word(Turkish_set.alphas)

State machine examples, showing how to extend Python with your own pyparsing-enabled syntax. The examples implement a 'statemachine' keyword to define a set of classes and transition attribute to implement a State pattern:
```
statemachine TrafficLightState:
    Red -> Green
    Green -> Yellow
    Yellow -> Red
```

Transitions can be named also:

    statemachine LibraryBookState:
        New -(shelve)-> Available
        Available -(reserve)-> OnHold
        OnHold -(release)-> Available
        Available -(checkout)-> CheckedOut
        CheckedOut -(checkin)-> Available

Example parser for decaf language. This language is commonly used in university CS compiler classes.

pyparsing - Pyparsing 2.3.0

NEW SUPPORT FOR UNICODE CHARACTER RANGES This release introduces the pyparsing_unicode namespace class, defining a series of language character sets to simplify the definition of alphas, nums, alphanums, and printables in the following language sets: . Arabic . Chinese . Cyrillic . Devanagari . Greek . Hebrew . Japanese (including Kanji, Katakana, and Hirigana subsets) . Korean . Latin1 (includes 7 and 8-bit Latin characters) . Thai . CJK (combination of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean sets)

POSSIBLE API CHANGES: - IndexErrors raised in parse actions are now wrapped in ParseExceptions - ParseResults have had several bugfixes which remove erroneous nesting levels See the CHANGES file for more details.

New classes: - PrecededBy - lookbehind match - Char - single character match (similar to Word(exact=1))

pyparsing - pyparsing_2.2.2

Version 2.2.2 - September, 2018

Fixed bug in SkipTo, if a SkipTo expression that was skipping to an expression that returned a list (such as an And), and the SkipTo was saved as a named result, the named result could be saved as a ParseResults - should always be saved as a string. Issue #28, reported by seron.
Added simpleunittests.py, as a collection of easy-to-follow unit tests for various classes and features of the pyparsing library. Primary intent is more to be instructional than actually rigorous testing. Complex tests can still be added in the unitTests.py file.
New features added to the Regex class:
- optional asGroupList parameter, returns all the capture groups as a list
- optional asMatch parameter, returns the raw re.match result
- new sub(repl) method, which adds a parse action calling re.sub(pattern, repl, parsed_result). Simplifies creating Regex expressions to be used with transformString. Like re.sub, repl may be an ordinary string (similar to using pyparsing's replaceWith), or may contain references to capture groups by group number, or may be a callable that takes an re match group and returns a string.
For instance:
```
expr = pp.Regex(r"([Hh]\d):\s*(.*)").sub(r"<\1>\2</\1>")
expr.transformString("h1: This is the title")
```
will return
```
<h1>This is the title</h1>
