parso - A Python Parser
Parso is a Python parser that supports error recovery and round-trip parsing for different Python versions (in multiple Python versions). Parso is also able to list multiple syntax errors in your python file.
Parso has been battle-tested by jedi. It was pulled out of jedi to be useful for other projects as well.
Parso consists of a small API to parse Python and analyse the syntax tree.
A simple example:
>>> import parso >>> module = parso.parse('hello + 1', version="3.6") >>> expr = module.children[0] >>> expr PythonNode(arith_expr, [<Name: hello@1,0>, <Operator: +>, <Number: 1>]) >>> print(expr.get_code()) hello + 1 >>> name = expr.children[0] >>> name <Name: hello@1,0> >>> name.end_pos (1, 5) >>> expr.end_pos (1, 9)
To list multiple issues:
>>> grammar = parso.load_grammar() >>> module = grammar.parse('foo +\nbar\ncontinue') >>> error1, error2 = grammar.iter_errors(module) >>> error1.message 'SyntaxError: invalid syntax' >>> error2.message "SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop"
Resources
Installation
pip install parso
Future
- There will be better support for refactoring and comments. Stay tuned.
- There's a WIP PEP8 validator. It's however not in a good shape, yet.
Known Issues
- async/await are already used as keywords in Python3.6.
- from __future__ import print_function is not ignored.
Acknowledgements
- Guido van Rossum (@gvanrossum) for creating the parser generator pgen2 (originally used in lib2to3).
- Salome Schneider for the extremely awesome parso logo.
Changelog
0.3.1 (2018-07-09)
- Bugfixes in the diff parser and keyword-only arguments
0.3.0 (2018-06-30)
- Rewrote the pgen2 parser generator.
0.2.1 (2018-05-21)
- A bugfix for the diff parser.
- Grammar files can now be loaded from a specific path.
0.2.0 (2018-04-15)
- f-strings are now parsed as a part of the normal Python grammar. This makes it way easier to deal with them.
