Description: YAPPS: Yet Another Python Parser System
        ----------------------------------------
        
        For the most complete and excellent documentation (e.g. [manual with
        examples](http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/yapps/yapps2/manual/)) and info,
        please see original project website: http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/yapps/
        
        YAPPS is an easy to use parser generator that is written in Python and generates
        Python code.
        There are several parser generator systems already available for Python, but
        this parser has different goals: Yapps is simple, very easy to use, and produces
        human-readable parsers.
        
        It is not the fastest or most powerful parser.
        Yapps is designed to be used when regular expressions are not enough and other
        parser systems are too much: situations where you might otherwise write your own
        recursive descent parser.
        
        This fork contains several upward-compatible enhancements to the original
        YAPPS source, originally included in [debian package](http://packages.debian.org/sid/yapps2):
        
         * Handle stacked input ("include files").
         * Augmented ignore-able patterns (can parse multi-line C comments correctly).
         * Better error reporting.
         * Read input incrementally.
        
        
        Installation
        ----------------------------------------
        
        It's a regular package for Python 2.7 (not 3.X, but there are links to 3.X
        patches listed on the [original author
        website](http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/yapps/)), but not in pypi, so can be
        installed from a checkout with something like that:
        
        	% python setup.py install
        
        Better way would be to use [pip](http://pip-installer.org/) to install all the
        necessary dependencies as well:
        
        	% pip install 'git+https://github.com/mk-fg/yapps.git#egg=yapps'
        
        Note that to install stuff in system-wide PATH and site-packages, elevated
        privileges are often required.
        Use "install --user",
        [~/.pydistutils.cfg](http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#distutils-configuration-files)
        or [virtualenv](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv) to do unprivileged
        installs into custom paths.
        
        Alternatively, `./yapps2` can be run right from the checkout tree, without any
        installation.
        
        No extra package dependencies.
