Example of such usage is SeeGramWrap available from Edward C. Jones
[http://members.tripod.com/~edcjones/pycode.html Python page], which is a heavily revised and upgraded version of the ANTLR C parser that is in [http://members.tripod.com/~edcjones/cgram.tar.gz cgram] (broken link). The lastest verson has been refactored to move some of the complexity from ANTLR to Python.

Martin von Loewis presented a paper at Python10, titled [http://www.python.org/sigs/parser-sig/towards-standard.html "Towards a Standard Parser Generator"] that surveyed the available parser generators for
Python.

Also see the Python ParserSig @ http://www.python.org/sigs/parser-sig/ to discuss and select a standard parser generator for Python.

For faster performance, one may use other parser generator systems and plug them in as modules.

For example:

Example of such usage is SeeGramWrap available from Edward C. Jones [http://members.tripod.com/~edcjones/pycode.html Python page], which is a heavily revised and upgraded version of the ANTLR C parser that is in [http://members.tripod.com/~edcjones/cgram.tar.gz cgram] (broken link).
