SimpleParse is a Python package providing a simple and fast parser generator using a modified version of the mxTextTools text-tagging engine. SimpleParse allows you to generate parsers directly from your EBNF grammar.
Unlike most parser generators, SimpleParse generates single-pass parsers (there is no distinct tokenization stage), an approach taken from the predecessor project (mcf.pars) which attempted to create \"autonomously parsing regex objects\". The resulting parsers are not as generalized as those created by, for instance, the Earley algorithm, but they do tend to be useful for the parsing of computer file formats and the like (as distinct from natural language and similar \"hard\" parsing problems).
