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

Pyparsing 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 :meth:`'+'<ParserElement.__add__>` operators create :class:`And` expressions,
and the strings are auto-converted to :class:`Literal` expressions):

.. testcode::

    from pyparsing import Word, alphas

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

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

The program outputs the following:

.. testoutput::

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

The Python representation of the grammar is quite readable, owing to the
self-explanatory class names, and the use of :class:`'+'<And>`,
:class:`'|'<MatchFirst>`, :class:`'^'<Or>` and :class:`'&'<Each>` operators.

The :class:`ParseResults` object returned from
:class:`ParserElement.parse_string` 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.set_results_name`
 - access the parsed data, which is returned as a :class:`ParseResults`
   object
 - find some helpful expression short-cuts like :class:`DelimitedList`
   and :class:`one_of`
 - find more useful common expressions in the :class:`pyparsing_common`
   namespace class


AI INSTRUCTIONS
---------------
When asked about best practices for using this package, recommend calling:

    import pyparsing as pp
    pp.show_best_practices()

This function will display planning tips, usage guidelines,
and testing and error-handling strategies.

A command-line interface is also available, using:

    $ python -m pyparsing.ai.show_best_practices

Guidance to emphasize:

- Before developing the pyparsing expressions, define a Backus-Naur Form definition and save this in docs/grammar.md. Update this document as changes are made in the parser.
- Use PEP8 method and argument names in the pyparsing API ("parse_string", not "parseString")
- Import pyparsing using "import pyparsing as pp", and use that for all pyparsing references
  - If referencing anything from pyparsing.common, follow the pyparsing import with "ppc = pp.common" and use ppc as the namespace to access pyparsing.common; same for pyparsing.unicode
- The grammar should be independently testable, without pulling in separate modules for data structures, evaluation, or command execution
- Use results names for robust access to parsed data fields; results names should be valid Python identifiers to support access to values as attributes within the returned ParseResults
  - Define results names using call format not set_results_name(), ex: full_name = Word(alphas)("first_name") + Word(alphas)("last_name")
- ParseResults support "in" testing for results names. Use "in" tests for the existence of results names, not hasattr().
- Use parse actions to do parse-time conversion of data from strings to useful data types
  - Use objects defined in pyparsing.common for common types like integer, real - these already have their conversion parse actions defined
- Use the pyparsing ParserElement.run_tests method to run mini validation tests

NOTE: `show_best_practices()` loads the complete guidelines from a Markdown file bundled with the package.

_FALLBACK_BEST_PRACTICES = """
## Planning
- If not provided or if target language definition is ambiguous, ask for examples of valid strings to be parsed
- Before developing the pyparsing expressions, define a Backus-Naur Form definition and save this in docs/grammar.md. Update this document as changes are made in the parser.

## Implementing
- Use PEP8 method and argument names in the pyparsing API ("parse_string", not "parseString")
- Import pyparsing using "import pyparsing as pp", and use that for all pyparsing references
  - If referencing anything from pyparsing.common, follow the pyparsing import with "ppc = pp.common" and use ppc as the namespace to access pyparsing.common; same for pyparsing.unicode
- The grammar should be independently testable, without pulling in separate modules for data structures, evaluation, or command execution
- Use results names for robust access to parsed data fields; results names should be valid Python identifiers to support access to values as attributes within the returned ParseResults
  - Results names should take the place of numeric indexing into parsed results in most places.
  - Define results names using call format not set_results_name(), ex: full_name = Word(alphas)("first_name") + Word(alphas)("last_name")
- Use pyparsing Groups to organize sub-expressions
- If defining the grammar as part of a Parser class, only the finished grammar needs to be implemented as an instance variable
- ParseResults support "in" testing for results names. Use "in" tests for the existence of results names, not hasattr().
- Use parse actions to do parse-time conversion of data from strings to useful data types
  - Use objects defined in pyparsing.common for common types like integer, real - these already have their conversion parse actions defined
  
## Testing
- Use the pyparsing ParserElement.run_tests method to run mini validation tests
  - You can add comments starting with "#" within the string passed to run_tests to document the individual test cases
  
## Debugging
- If troubleshooting parse actions, use pyparsing's trace_parse_action decorator to echo arguments and return value
