There are some libraries out there that might make our parsing lives easier.

  • Construct for binary parsing
  • Katai Struct is a cross-language parser generator using a declarative config file
  • Parsita for parsing text. Has better regex support than canopy
  • Tatsu is another PEG parser, using an EBNF definition
  • PyParsing helps build PEG parsers, and is currently used by matplotlib for its mathtext support--so it has the benefit of already being indirectly in our dependency tree.
  • Lark can do a lot from grammar files
