Change Log
==========
RELEASE PLANNING NOTES:
In the pyparsing release 3.3.0, use of many of the pre-PEP8 methods (such as
`ParserElement.parseString`) will start to raise `DeprecationWarnings`. I plan to
completely drop the pre-PEP8 methods in pyparsing 4.0, though we won't see that release
until some time in 2026. So there is plenty of time to convert existing parsers to
the new function names before the old functions are completely removed. (Big help from
Devin J. Pohly in structuring the code to enable this peaceful transition.)
===========================================================================================
In preparation for version 3.3.0 release, which will begin emitting `DeprecationWarnings`
for pyparsing methods that have been renamed to PEP8-compliant names, I have added in
pyparsing 3.2.2 a utility for finding and replacing the old method names with the new
names. This utility is located at `pyparsing/tools/cvt_pep8_names.py`. This script will
scan all Python files specified on the command line, and will replace all occurrences of
the old method names with the new PEP8-compliant names, updating the files in place.
Here is an example that converts all the files in the pyparsing `/examples` directory:
python -m pyparsing.tools.cvt_pyparsing_pep8_names examples/*.py
The new names are compatible with pyparsing versions 3.0.0 and later.
===========================================================================================
Version 3.2.2 - under development
---------------------------------
- Release of `cvt_pyparsing_pep8_names.py` conversion utility to upgrade pyparsing-based
programs and libraries that use legacy camelCase names to use the new PEP8-compliant
snake_case method names.
- Fixed bug in `nested_expr` where nested contents were stripped of whitespace when
the default whitespace characters were cleared (raised in this StackOverflow
question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79327649 by Ben Alan). Also addressed
bug in resolving PEP8 compliant argument name and legacy argument name.
- Better exception message for `MatchFirst` and `Or` expressions, showing all alternatives
rather than just the first one. Fixes Issue #592, reported by Focke, thanks!
- Added return type annotation of "-> None" for all `__init__()` methods, to satisfy
`mypy --strict` type checking. PR submitted by FeRD, thank you!
- Added optional argument `show_hidden` to create_diagram` to show
elements that are used internally by pyparsing, but are not part of the actual
parser grammar. For instance, the `Tag` class can insert values into the parsed
results but it does not actually parse any input, so by default it is not included
in a railroad diagram. By calling `create_diagram` with `show_hidden` = `True`,
these internal elements will be included. (You can see this in the tag_metadata.py
script in the examples directory.)
- Fixed bug in number_words.py example. Also added ebnf_number_words.py to demonstrate
using the ebnf.py EBNF parser generator to build a similar parser directly from
EBNF.
- Fixed syntax warning raised in bigquery_view_parser.py, invalid escape sequence "\s".
Reported by sameer-google, nice catch! (Issue #598)
- Added support for Python 3.14.
Version 3.2.1 - December, 2024
------------------------------
- Updated generated railroad diagrams to make non-terminal elements links to their related
sub-diagrams. This _greatly_ improves navigation of the diagram, especially for
large, complex parsers.
- Simplified railroad diagrams emitted for parsers using `infix_notation`, by hiding
lookahead terms. Renamed internally generated expressions for clarity, and improved
diagramming.
- Improved performance of `cpp_style_comment`, `c_style_comment`, `common.fnumber`
and `common.ieee_float` Regex expressions. PRs submitted by Gabriel Gerlero,
nice work, thanks!
- Add missing type annotations to `match_only_at_col`, `replace_with`, `remove_quotes`,
`with_attribute`, and `with_class`. Issue #585 reported by rafrafrek.
- Added generated diagrams for many of the examples.
- Replaced old examples/0README.html file with examples/README.md file.
Version 3.2.0 - October, 2024
-------------------------------
- Discontinued support for Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. Adopted new Python features from
Python versions 3.7-3.9:
- Updated type annotations to use built-in container types instead of names
imported from the `typing` module (e.g., `list[str]` vs `List[str]`).
- Reworked portions of the packrat cache to leverage insertion-preserving ordering
in dicts (including removal of uses of `OrderedDict`).
- Changed `pdb.set_trace()` call in `ParserElement.set_break()` to `breakpoint()`.
- Converted `typing.NamedTuple` to `dataclasses.dataclass` in railroad diagramming
code.
- Added `from __future__ import annotations` to clean up some type annotations.
(with assistance from ISyncWithFoo, issue #535, thanks for the help!)
- POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGES
The following bugfixes may result in subtle changes in the results returned or
exceptions raised by pyparsing.
- Fixed code in `ParseElementEnhance` subclasses that
replaced detailed exception messages raised in contained expressions with a
less-specific and less-informative generic exception message and location.
If your code has conditional logic based on the message content in raised
`ParseExceptions`, this bugfix may require changes in your code.
- Fixed bug in `transform_string()` where whitespace
in the input string was not properly preserved in the output string.
If your code uses `transform_string`, this bugfix may require changes in
your code.
- Fixed bug where an `IndexError` raised in a parse action was
incorrectly handled as an `IndexError` raised as part of the `ParserElement`
parsing methods, and reraised as a `ParseException`. Now an `IndexError`
that raises inside a parse action will properly propagate out as an `IndexError`.
(Issue #573, reported by August Karlstedt, thanks!)
If your code raises `IndexError`s in parse actions, this bugfix may require
changes in your code.
- FIXES AND NEW FEATURES
- Added type annotations to remainder of `pyparsing` package, and added `mypy`
run to `tox.ini`, so that type annotations are now run as part of pyparsing's CI.
Addresses Issue #373, raised by Iwan Aucamp, thanks!
- Exception message format can now be customized, by overriding
`ParseBaseException.format_message`:
def custom_exception_message(exc) -> str:
found_phrase = f", found {exc.found}" if exc.found else ""
return f"{exc.lineno}:{exc.column} {exc.msg}{found_phrase}"
ParseBaseException.formatted_message = custom_exception_message
(PR #571 submitted by Odysseyas Krystalakos, nice work!)
- `run_tests` now detects if an exception is raised in a parse action, and will
report it with an enhanced error message, with the exception type, string,
and parse action name.
- `QuotedString` now handles translation of escaped integer, hex, octal, and
Unicode sequences to their corresponding characters.
- Fixed the displayed output of `Regex` terms to deduplicate repeated backslashes,
for easier reading in debugging, printing, and railroad diagrams.
- Fixed (or at least reduced) elusive bug when generating railroad diagrams,
where some diagram elements were just empty blocks. Fix submitted by RoDuth,
thanks a ton!
- Fixed railroad diagrams that get generated with a parser containing a Regex element
defined using a verbose pattern - the pattern gets flattened and comments removed
before creating the corresponding diagram element.
- Defined a more performant regular expression used internally by `common_html_entity`.
- `Regex` instances can now be created using a callable that takes no arguments
and just returns a string or a compiled regular expression, so that creating complex
regular expression patterns can be deferred until they are actually used for the first
time in the parser.
- Added optional `flatten` Boolean argument to `ParseResults.as_list()`, to
return the parsed values in a flattened list.
- Added `indent` and `base_1` arguments to `pyparsing.testing.with_line_numbers`. When
using `with_line_numbers` inside a parse action, set `base_1`=False, since the
reported `loc` value is 0-based. `indent` can be a leading string (typically of
spaces or tabs) to indent the numbered string passed to `with_line_numbers`.
Added while working on #557, reported by Bernd Wechner.
- NEW/ENHANCED EXAMPLES
- Added query syntax to `mongodb_query_expression.py` with:
- better support for array fields ("contains all",
"contains any", and "contains none")
- "like" and "not like" operators to support SQL "%" wildcard matching
and "=~" operator to support regex matching
- text search using "search for"
- dates and datetimes as query values
- `a[0]` style array referencing
- Added `lox_parser.py` example, a parser for the Lox language used as a tutorial in
Robert Nystrom's "Crafting Interpreters" (http://craftinginterpreters.com/).
With helpful corrections from RoDuth.
- Added `complex_chemical_formulas.py` example, to add parsing capability for
formulas such as "3(C₆H₅OH)₂".
- Updated `tag_emitter.py` to use new `Tag` class, introduced in pyparsing
3.1.3.
Version 3.1.4 - August, 2024
----------------------------
- Fixed a regression introduced in pyparsing 3.1.3, addition of a type annotation that
referenced `re.Pattern`. Since this type was introduced in Python 3.7, using this type
definition broke Python 3.6 installs of pyparsing 3.1.3. PR submitted by Felix Fontein,
nice work!
Version 3.1.3 - August, 2024
----------------------------
- Added new `Tag` ParserElement, for inserting metadata into the parsed results.
This allows a parser to add metadata or annotations to the parsed tokens.
The `Tag` element also accepts an optional `value` parameter, defaulting to `True`.
See the new `tag_metadata.py` example in the `examples` directory.
Example:
# add tag indicating mood
end_punc = "." | ("!" + Tag("enthusiastic")))
greeting = "Hello" + Word(alphas) + end_punc
result = greeting.parse_string("Hello World.")
print(result.dump())
result = greeting.parse_string("Hello World!")
print(result.dump())
prints:
['Hello', 'World', '.']
['Hello', 'World', '!']
- enthusiastic: True
- Added example `mongodb_query_expression.py`, to convert human-readable infix query
expressions (such as `a==100 and b>=200`) and transform them into the equivalent
query argument for the pymongo package (`{'$and': [{'a': 100}, {'b': {'$gte': 200}}]}`).
Supports many equality and inequality operators - see the docstring for the
`transform_query` function for more examples.
- Fixed issue where PEP8 compatibility names for `ParserElement` static methods were
not themselves defined as `staticmethods`. When called using a `ParserElement` instance,
this resulted in a `TypeError` exception. Reported by eylenburg (#548).
- To address a compatibility issue in RDFLib, added a property setter for the
`ParserElement.name` property, to call `ParserElement.set_name`.
- Modified `ParserElement.set_name()` to accept a None value, to clear the defined
name and corresponding error message for a `ParserElement`.
- Updated railroad diagram generation for `ZeroOrMore` and `OneOrMore` expressions with
`stop_on` expressions, while investigating #558, reported by user Gu_f.
- Added `<META>` tag to HTML generated for railroad diagrams to force UTF-8 encoding
with older browsers, to better display Unicode parser characters.
- Fixed some cosmetics/bugs in railroad diagrams:
- fixed groups being shown even when `show_groups`=False
- show results names as quoted strings when `show_results_names`=True
- only use integer loop counter if repetition > 2
- Some type annotations added for parse action related methods, thanks August
Karlstedt (#551).
- Added exception type to `trace_parse_action` exception output, while investigating
SO question posted by medihack.
- Added `set_name` calls to internal expressions generated in `infix_notation`, for
improved railroad diagramming.
- `delta_time`, `lua_parser`, `decaf_parser`, and `roman_numerals` examples cleaned up
to use latest PEP8 names and add minor enhancements.
- Fixed bug (and corresponding test code) in `delta_time` example that did not handle
weekday references in time expressions (like "Monday at 4pm") when the weekday was
the same as the current weekday.
- Minor performance speedup in `trim_arity`, to benefit any parsers using parse actions.
- Added early testing support for Python 3.13 with JIT enabled.
Version 3.1.2 - March, 2024
---------------------------
- Added `ieee_float` expression to `pyparsing.common`, which parses float values,
plus "NaN", "Inf", "Infinity". PR submitted by Bob Peterson (#538).
- Updated pep8 synonym wrappers for better type checking compatibility. PR submitted
by Ricardo Coccioli (#507).
- Fixed empty error message bug, PR submitted by InSync (#534). This _should_ return
pyparsing's exception messages to a former, more helpful form. If you have code that
parses the exception messages returned by pyparsing, this may require some code
changes.
- Added unit tests to test for exception message contents, with enhancement to
`pyparsing.testing.assertRaisesParseException` to accept an expected exception message.
- Updated example `select_parser.py` to use PEP8 names and added Groups for better retrieval
of parsed values from multiple SELECT clauses.
- Added example `email_address_parser.py`, as suggested by John Byrd (#539).
- Added example `directx_x_file_parser.py` to parse DirectX template definitions, and
generate a Pyparsing parser from a template to parse .x files.
- Some code refactoring to reduce code nesting, PRs submitted by InSync.
- All internal string expressions using '%' string interpolation and `str.format()`
converted to f-strings.
Version 3.1.1 - July, 2023
--------------------------
- Fixed regression in Word(min), reported by Ricardo Coccioli, good catch! (Issue #502)
- Fixed bug in bad exception messages raised by Forward expressions. PR submitted
by Kyle Sunden, thanks for your patience and collaboration on this (#493).
- Fixed regression in SkipTo, where ignored expressions were not checked when looking
for the target expression. Reported by catcombo, Issue #500.
- Fixed type annotation for enable_packrat, PR submitted by Mike Urbach, thanks! (Issue #498)
- Some general internal code cleanup. (Instigated by Michal Čihař, Issue #488)
Version 3.1.0 - June, 2023
--------------------------
- Added `tag_emitter.py` to examples. This example demonstrates how to insert
tags into your parsed results that are not part of the original parsed text.
Version 3.1.0b2 - May, 2023
---------------------------
- Updated `create_diagram()` code to be compatible with railroad-diagrams package
version 3.0. Fixes Issue #477 (railroad diagrams generated with black bars),
reported by Sam Morley-Short.
- Fixed bug in `NotAny`, where parse actions on the negated expr were not being run.
This could cause `NotAny` to incorrectly fail if the expr would normally match,
but would fail to match if a condition used as a parse action returned False.
Fixes Issue #482, raised by byaka, thank you!
- Fixed `create_diagram()` to accept keyword args, to be passed through to the
`template.render()` method to generate the output HTML (PR submitted by Aussie Schnore,
good catch!)
- Fixed bug in `python_quoted_string` regex.
- Added `examples/bf.py` Brainf*ck parser/executor example. Illustrates using
a pyparsing grammar to parse language syntax, and attach executable AST nodes to
the parsed results.
Version 3.1.0b1 - April, 2023
-----------------------------
- Added support for Python 3.12.
- API CHANGE: A slight change has been implemented when unquoting a quoted string
parsed using the `QuotedString` class. Formerly, when unquoting and processing
whitespace markers such as \t and \n, these substitutions would occur first, and
then any additional '\' escaping would be done on the resulting string. This would
parse "\\n" as "\<newline>". Now escapes and whitespace markers are all processed
in a single pass working left to right, so the quoted string "\\n" would get unquoted
to "\n" (a backslash followed by "n"). Fixes issue #474 raised by jakeanq,
thanks!
- Added named field "url" to `pyparsing.common.url`, returning the entire
parsed URL string.
- Fixed bug when parse actions returned an empty string for an expression that
had a results name, that the results name was not saved. That is:
expr = Literal("X").add_parse_action(lambda tokens: "")("value")
result = expr.parse_string("X")
print(result["value"])
would raise a `KeyError`. Now empty strings will be saved with the associated
results name. Raised in Issue #470 by Nicco Kunzmann, thank you.
- Fixed bug in `SkipTo` where ignore expressions were not properly handled while
scanning for the target expression. Issue #475, reported by elkniwt, thanks
(this bug has been there for a looooong time!).
- Updated `ci.yml` permissions to limit default access to source - submitted by Joyce
Brum of Google. Thanks so much!
- Updated the `lucene_grammar.py` example (better support for '*' and '?' wildcards)
and corrected the test cases - brought to my attention by Elijah Nicol, good catch!
Version 3.1.0a1 - March, 2023
-----------------------------
- API ENHANCEMENT: `Optional(expr)` may now be written as `expr | ""`
This will make this code:
"{" + Optional(Literal("A") | Literal("a")) + "}"
writable as:
"{" + (Literal("A") | Literal("a") | "") + "}"
Some related changes implemented as part of this work:
- `Literal("")` now internally generates an `Empty()` (and no longer raises an exception)
- `Empty` is now a subclass of `Literal`
Suggested by Antony Lee (issue #412), PR (#413) by Devin J. Pohly.
- Added new class property `identifier` to all Unicode set classes in `pyparsing.unicode`,
using the class's values for `cls.identchars` and `cls.identbodychars`. Now Unicode-aware
parsers that formerly wrote:
ppu = pyparsing.unicode
ident = Word(ppu.Greek.identchars, ppu.Greek.identbodychars)
can now write:
ident = ppu.Greek.identifier
# or
# ident = ppu.Ελληνικά.identifier
- `ParseResults` now has a new method `deepcopy()`, in addition to the current
`copy()` method. `copy()` only makes a shallow copy - any contained `ParseResults`
are copied as references - changes in the copy will be seen as changes in the original.
In many cases, a shallow copy is sufficient, but some applications require a deep copy.
`deepcopy()` makes a deeper copy: any contained `ParseResults` or other mappings or
containers are built with copies from the original, and do not get changed if the
original is later changed. Addresses issue #463, reported by Bryn Pickering.
- Reworked `delimited_list` function into the new `DelimitedList` class.
`DelimitedList` has the same constructor interface as `delimited_list`, and
in this release, `delimited_list` changes from a function to a synonym for
`DelimitedList`. `delimited_list` and the older `delimitedList` method will be
deprecated in a future release, in favor of `DelimitedList`.
- Error messages from `MatchFirst` and `Or` expressions will try to give more details
if one of the alternatives matches better than the others, but still fails.
Question raised in Issue #464 by msdemlei, thanks!
- Added new class method `ParserElement.using_each`, to simplify code
that creates a sequence of `Literals`, `Keywords`, or other `ParserElement`
subclasses.
For instance, to define suppressible punctuation, you would previously
write:
LPAR, RPAR, LBRACE, RBRACE, SEMI = map(Suppress, "(){};")
You can now write:
LPAR, RPAR, LBRACE, RBRACE, SEMI = Suppress.using_each("(){};")
`using_each` will also accept optional keyword args, which it will
pass through to the class initializer. Here is an expression for
single-letter variable names that might be used in an algebraic
expression:
algebra_var = MatchFirst(
Char.using_each(string.ascii_lowercase, as_keyword=True)
)
- Added new builtin `python_quoted_string`, which will match any form
of single-line or multiline quoted strings defined in Python. (Inspired
by discussion with Andreas Schörgenhumer in Issue #421.)
- Extended `expr[]` notation for repetition of `expr` to accept a
slice, where the slice's stop value indicates a `stop_on`
expression:
test = "BEGIN aaa bbb ccc END"
BEGIN, END = Keyword.using_each("BEGIN END".split())
body_word = Word(alphas)
expr = BEGIN + Group(body_word[...:END]) + END
# equivalent to
# expr = BEGIN + Group(ZeroOrMore(body_word, stop_on=END)) + END
print(expr.parse_string(test))
Prints:
['BEGIN', ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'], 'END']
- `ParserElement.validate()` is deprecated. It predates the support for left-recursive
parsers, and was prone to false positives (warning that a grammar was invalid when
it was in fact valid). It will be removed in a future pyparsing release. In its
place, developers should use debugging and analytical tools, such as `ParserElement.set_debug()`
and `ParserElement.create_diagram()`.
(Raised in Issue #444, thanks Andrea Micheli!)
- Added bool `embed` argument to `ParserElement.create_diagram()`.
When passed as True, the resulting diagram will omit the `<DOCTYPE>`,
`<HEAD>`, and `<BODY>` tags so that it can be embedded in other
HTML source. (Useful when embedding a call to `create_diagram()` in
a PyScript HTML page.)
- Added `recurse` argument to `ParserElement.set_debug` to set the
debug flag on an expression and all of its sub-expressions. Requested
by multimeric in Issue #399.
- Added '·' (Unicode MIDDLE DOT) to the set of Latin1.identbodychars.
- Fixed bug in `Word` when `max=2`. Also added performance enhancement
when specifying `exact` argument. Reported in issue #409 by
panda-34, nice catch!
- `Word` arguments are now validated if `min` and `max` are both
given, that `min` <= `max`; raises `ValueError` if values are invalid.
- Fixed bug in srange, when parsing escaped '/' and '\' inside a
range set.
- Fixed exception messages for some `ParserElements` with custom names,
which instead showed their contained expression names.
- Fixed bug in pyparsing.common.url, when input URL is not alone
on an input line. Fixes Issue #459, reported by David Kennedy.
- Multiple added and corrected type annotations. With much help from
Stephen Rosen, thanks!
- Some documentation and error message clarifications on pyparsing's
keyword logic, cited by Basil Peace.
- General docstring cleanup for Sphinx doc generation, PRs submitted
by Devin J. Pohly. A dirty job, but someone has to do it - much
appreciated!
- `invRegex.py` example renamed to `inv_regex.py` and updated to PEP-8
variable and method naming. PR submitted by Ross J. Duff, thanks!
- Removed examples `sparser.py` and `pymicko.py`, since each included its
own GPL license in the header. Since this conflicts with pyparsing's
MIT license, they were removed from the distribution to avoid
confusion among those making use of them in their own projects.
Version 3.0.9 - May, 2022
-------------------------
- Added Unicode set `BasicMultilingualPlane` (may also be referenced
as `BMP`) representing the Basic Multilingual Plane (Unicode
characters up to code point 65535). Can be used to parse
most language characters, but omits emojis, wingdings, etc.
Raised in discussion with Dave Tapley (issue #392).
- To address mypy confusion of `pyparsing.Optional` and `typing.Optional`
resulting in `error: "_SpecialForm" not callable` message
reported in issue #365, fixed the import in `exceptions.py`. Nice
sleuthing by Iwan Aucamp and Dominic Davis-Foster, thank you!
(Removed definitions of `OptionalType`, `DictType`, and `IterableType`
and replaced them with `typing.Optional`, `typing.Dict`, and
`typing.Iterable` throughout.)
- Fixed typo in jinja2 template for railroad diagrams, thanks for the
catch Nioub (issue #388).
- Removed use of deprecated `pkg_resources` package in
railroad diagramming code (issue #391).
- Updated `bigquery_view_parser.py` example to parse examples at
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/legacy-sql
Version 3.0.8 - April, 2022
---------------------------
- API CHANGE: modified `pyproject.toml` to require Python version
3.6.8 or later for pyparsing 3.x. Earlier minor versions of 3.6
fail in evaluating the `version_info` class (implemented using
`typing.NamedTuple`). If you are using an earlier version of Python
3.6, you will need to use pyparsing 2.4.7.
- Improved pyparsing import time by deferring regex pattern compiles.
PR submitted by Anthony Sottile to fix issue #362, thanks!
- Updated build to use flit, PR by Michał Górny, added `BUILDING.md`
doc and removed old Windows build scripts - nice cleanup work!
- More type-hinting added for all arithmetic and logical operator
methods in `ParserElement`. PR from Kazantcev Andrey, thank you.
- Fixed `infix_notation`'s definitions of `lpar` and `rpar`, to accept
parse expressions such that they do not get suppressed in the parsed
results. PR submitted by Philippe Prados, nice work.
- Fixed bug in railroad diagramming with expressions containing `Combine`
elements. Reported by Jeremy White, thanks!
- Added `show_groups` argument to `create_diagram` to highlight grouped
elements with an unlabeled bounding box.
- Added `unicode_denormalizer.py` to the examples as a demonstration
of how Python's interpreter will accept Unicode characters in
identifiers, but normalizes them back to ASCII so that identifiers
`print` and `𝕡𝓻ᵢ𝓃𝘁` and `𝖕𝒓𝗂𝑛ᵗ` are all equivalent.
- Removed imports of deprecated `sre_constants` module for catching
exceptions when compiling regular expressions. PR submitted by
Serhiy Storchaka, thank you.
Version 3.0.7 - January, 2022
-----------------------------
- Fixed bug #345, in which delimitedList changed expressions in place
using `expr.streamline()`. Reported by Kim Gräsman, thanks!
- Fixed bug #346, when a string of word characters was passed to WordStart
or `WordEnd` instead of just taking the default value. Originally posted
as a question by Parag on StackOverflow, good catch!
- Fixed bug #350, in which `White` expressions could fail to match due to
unintended whitespace-skipping. Reported by Fu Hanxi, thank you!
- Fixed bug #355, when a `QuotedString` is defined with characters in its
quoteChar string containing regex-significant characters such as ., *,
?, [, ], etc.
- Fixed bug in `ParserElement.run_tests` where comments would be displayed
using `with_line_numbers`.
- Added optional "min" and "max" arguments to `delimited_list`. PR
submitted by Marius, thanks!
- Added new API change note in `whats_new_in_pyparsing_3_0_0`, regarding
a bug fix in the `bool()` behavior of `ParseResults`.
Prior to pyparsing 3.0.x, the `ParseResults` class implementation of
`__bool__` would return `False` if the `ParseResults` item list was empty,
even if it contained named results. In 3.0.0 and later, `ParseResults` will
return `True` if either the item list is not empty *or* if the named
results dict is not empty.
# generate an empty ParseResults by parsing a blank string with
# a ZeroOrMore
result = Word(alphas)[...].parse_string("")
print(result.as_list())
print(result.as_dict())
print(bool(result))
# add a results name to the result
result["name"] = "empty result"
print(result.as_list())
print(result.as_dict())
print(bool(result))
Prints:
[]
{}
False
[]
{'name': 'empty result'}
True
In previous versions, the second call to `bool()` would return `False`.
- Minor enhancement to Word generation of internal regular expression, to
emit consecutive characters in range, such as "ab", as "ab", not "a-b".
- Fixed character ranges for search terms using non-Western characters
in booleansearchparser, PR submitted by tc-yu, nice work!
- Additional type annotations on public methods.
Version 3.0.6 - November, 2021
------------------------------
- Added `suppress_warning()` method to individually suppress a warning on a
specific ParserElement. Used to refactor `original_text_for` to preserve
internal results names, which, while undocumented, had been adopted by
some projects.
- Fix bug when `delimited_list` was called with a str literal instead of a
parse expression.
Version 3.0.5 - November, 2021
------------------------------
- Added return type annotations for `col`, `line`, and `lineno`.
- Fixed bug when `warn_ungrouped_named_tokens_in_collection` warning was raised
when assigning a results name to an `original_text_for` expression.
(Issue #110, would raise warning in packaging.)
- Fixed internal bug where `ParserElement.streamline()` would not return self if
already streamlined.
- Changed `run_tests()` output to default to not showing line and column numbers.
If line numbering is desired, call with `with_line_numbers=True`. Also fixed
minor bug where separating line was not included after a test failure.
Version 3.0.4 - October, 2021
-----------------------------
- Fixed bug in which `Dict` classes did not correctly return tokens as nested
`ParseResults`, reported by and fix identified by Bu Sun Kim, many thanks!!!
- Documented API-changing side-effect of converting `ParseResults` to use `__slots__`
to pre-define instance attributes. This means that code written like this (which
was allowed in pyparsing 2.4.7):
result = Word(alphas).parseString("abc")
result.xyz = 100
now raises this Python exception:
AttributeError: 'ParseResults' object has no attribute 'xyz'
To add new attribute values to ParseResults object in 3.0.0 and later, you must
assign them using indexed notation:
result["xyz"] = 100
You will still be able to access this new value as an attribute or as an
indexed item.
- Fixed bug in railroad diagramming where the vertical limit would count all
expressions in a group, not just those that would create visible railroad
elements.
Version 3.0.3 - October, 2021
-----------------------------
- Fixed regex typo in `one_of` fix for `as_keyword=True`.
- Fixed a whitespace-skipping bug, Issue #319, introduced as part of the revert
of the `LineStart` changes. Reported by Marc-Alexandre Côté,
thanks!
- Added header column labeling > 100 in `with_line_numbers` - some input lines
are longer than others.
Version 3.0.2 - October, 2021
-----------------------------
- Reverted change in behavior with `LineStart` and `StringStart`, which changed the
interpretation of when and how `LineStart` and `StringStart` should match when
a line starts with spaces. In 3.0.0, the `xxxStart` expressions were not
really treated like expressions in their own right, but as modifiers to the
following expression when used like `LineStart() + expr`, so that if there
were whitespace on the line before `expr` (which would match in versions prior
to 3.0.0), the match would fail.
3.0.0 implemented this by automatically promoting `LineStart() + expr` to
`AtLineStart(expr)`, which broke existing parsers that did not expect `expr` to
necessarily be right at the start of the line, but only be the first token
found on the line. This was reported as a regression in Issue #317.
In 3.0.2, pyparsing reverts to the previous behavior, but will retain the new
`AtLineStart` and `AtStringStart` expression classes, so that parsers can chose
whichever behavior applies in their specific instance. Specifically:
# matches expr if it is the first token on the line
# (allows for leading whitespace)
LineStart() + expr
# matches only if expr is found in column 1
AtLineStart(expr)
- Performance enhancement to `one_of` to always generate an internal `Regex`,
even if `caseless` or `as_keyword` args are given as `True` (unless explicitly
disabled by passing `use_regex=False`).
- `IndentedBlock` class now works with `recursive` flag. By default, the
results parsed by an `IndentedBlock` are grouped. This can be disabled by constructing
the `IndentedBlock` with `grouped=False`.
Version 3.0.1 - October, 2021
-----------------------------
- Fixed bug where `Word(max=n)` did not match word groups less than length 'n'.
Thanks to Joachim Metz for catching this!
- Fixed bug where `ParseResults` accidentally created recursive contents.
Joachim Metz on this one also!
- Fixed bug where `warn_on_multiple_string_args_to_oneof` warning is raised
even when not enabled.
Version 3.0.0 - October, 2021
-----------------------------
- A consolidated list of all the changes in the 3.0.0 release can be found in
`docs/whats_new_in_3_0_0.rst`.
(https://github.com/pyparsing/pyparsing/blob/master/docs/whats_new_in_3_0_0.rst)
Version 3.0.0.final - October, 2021
-----------------------------------
- Added support for python `-W` warning option to call `enable_all_warnings`() at startup.
Also detects setting of `PYPARSINGENABLEALLWARNINGS` environment variable to any non-blank
value. (If using `-Wd` for testing, but wishing to disable pyparsing warnings, add
`-Wi:::pyparsing`.)
- Fixed named results returned by `url` to match fields as they would be parsed
using `urllib.parse.urlparse`.
- Early response to `with_line_numbers` was positive, with some requested enhancements:
. added a trailing "|" at the end of each line (to show presence of trailing spaces);
can be customized using `eol_mark` argument
. added expand_tabs argument, to control calling str.expandtabs (defaults to True
to match `parseString`)
. added mark_spaces argument to support display of a printing character in place of
spaces, or Unicode symbols for space and tab characters
. added mark_control argument to support highlighting of control characters using
'.' or Unicode symbols, such as "␍" and "␊".
- Modified helpers `common_html_entity` and `replace_html_entity()` to use the HTML
entity definitions from `html.entities.html5`.
- Updated the class diagram in the pyparsing docs directory, along with the supporting
.puml file (PlantUML markup) used to create the diagram.
- Added global method `autoname_elements()` to call `set_name()` on all locally
defined `ParserElements` that haven't been explicitly named using `set_name()`, using
their local variable name. Useful for setting names on multiple elements when
creating a railroad diagram.
a = pp.Literal("a")
b = pp.Literal("b").set_name("bbb")
pp.autoname_elements()
`a` will get named "a", while `b` will keep its name "bbb".
Version 3.0.0rc2 - October, 2021
--------------------------------
- Added `url` expression to `pyparsing_common`. (Sample code posted by Wolfgang Fahl,
very nice!)
This new expression has been added to the `urlExtractorNew.py` example, to show how
it extracts URL fields into separate results names.
- Added method to `pyparsing_test` to help debugging, `with_line_numbers`.
Returns a string with line and column numbers corresponding to values shown
when parsing with expr.set_debug():
data = """\
A
100"""
expr = pp.Word(pp.alphanums).set_name("word").set_debug()
print(ppt.with_line_numbers(data))
expr[...].parseString(data)
prints:
1
1234567890
1: A
2: 100
Match word at loc 3(1,4)
A
^
Matched word -> ['A']
Match word at loc 11(2,7)
100
^
Matched word -> ['100']
- Added new example `cuneiform_python.py` to demonstrate creating a new Unicode
range, and writing a Cuneiform->Python transformer (inspired by zhpy).
- Fixed issue #272, reported by PhasecoreX, when `LineStart`() expressions would match
input text that was not necessarily at the beginning of a line.
As part of this fix, two new classes have been added: AtLineStart and AtStringStart.
The following expressions are equivalent:
LineStart() + expr and AtLineStart(expr)
StringStart() + expr and AtStringStart(expr)
[`LineStart` and `StringStart` changes reverted in 3.0.2.]
- Fixed `ParseFatalExceptions` failing to override normal exceptions or expression
matches in `MatchFirst` expressions. Addresses issue #251, reported by zyp-rgb.
- Fixed bug in which `ParseResults` replaces a collection type value with an invalid
type annotation (as a result of changed behavior in Python 3.9). Addresses issue #276, reported by
Rob Shuler, thanks.
- Fixed bug in `ParseResults` when calling `__getattr__` for special double-underscored
methods. Now raises `AttributeError` for non-existent results when accessing a
name starting with '__'. Addresses issue #208, reported by Joachim Metz.
- Modified debug fail messages to include the expression name to make it easier to sync
up match vs success/fail debug messages.
Version 3.0.0rc1 - September, 2021
----------------------------------
- Railroad diagrams have been reformatted:
. creating diagrams is easier - call
expr.create_diagram("diagram_output.html")
create_diagram() takes 3 arguments:
. the filename to write the diagram HTML
. optional 'vertical' argument, to specify the minimum number of items in a path
to be shown vertically; default=3
. optional 'show_results_names' argument, to specify whether results name
annotations should be shown; default=False
. every expression that gets a name using `setName()` gets separated out as
a separate subdiagram
. results names can be shown as annotations to diagram items
. `Each`, `FollowedBy`, and `PrecededBy` elements get [ALL], [LOOKAHEAD], and [LOOKBEHIND]
annotations
. removed annotations for Suppress elements
. some diagram cleanup when a grammar contains Forward elements
. check out the examples make_diagram.py and railroad_diagram_demo.py
- Type annotations have been added to most public API methods and classes.
- Better exception messages to show full word where an exception occurred.
Word(alphas, alphanums)[...].parseString("ab1 123", parseAll=True)
Was:
pyparsing.ParseException: Expected end of text, found '1' (at char 4), (line:1, col:5)
Now:
pyparsing.exceptions.ParseException: Expected end of text, found '123' (at char 4), (line:1, col:5)
- Suppress can be used to suppress text skipped using "...".
source = "lead in START relevant text END trailing text"
start_marker = Keyword("START")
end_marker = Keyword("END")
find_body = Suppress(...) + start_marker + ... + end_marker
print(find_body.parseString(source).dump())
Prints:
['START', 'relevant text ', 'END']
- _skipped: ['relevant text ']
- New string constants `identchars` and `identbodychars` to help in defining identifier Word expressions
Two new module-level strings have been added to help when defining identifiers, `identchars` and `identbodychars`.
Instead of writing::
import pyparsing as pp
identifier = pp.Word(pp.alphas + "_", pp.alphanums + "_")
you will be able to write::
identifier = pp.Word(pp.identchars, pp.identbodychars)
Those constants have also been added to all the Unicode string classes::
import pyparsing as pp
ppu = pp.pyparsing_unicode
cjk_identifier = pp.Word(ppu.CJK.identchars, ppu.CJK.identbodychars)
greek_identifier = pp.Word(ppu.Greek.identchars, ppu.Greek.identbodychars)
- Added a caseless parameter to the `CloseMatch` class to allow for casing to be
ignored when checking for close matches. (Issue #281) (PR by Adrian Edwards, thanks!)
- Fixed bug in Located class when used with a results name. (Issue #294)
- Fixed bug in `QuotedString` class when the escaped quote string is not a
repeated character. (Issue #263)
- `parseFile()` and `create_diagram()` methods now will accept `pathlib.Path`
arguments.
Version 3.0.0b3 - August, 2021
------------------------------
- PEP-8 compatible names are being introduced in pyparsing version 3.0!
All methods such as `parseString` have been replaced with the PEP-8
compliant name `parse_string`. In addition, arguments such as `parseAll`
have been renamed to `parse_all`. For backward-compatibility, synonyms for
all renamed methods and arguments have been added, so that existing
pyparsing parsers will not break. These synonyms will be removed in a future
release.
In addition, the Optional class has been renamed to Opt, since it clashes
with the common typing.Optional type specifier that is used in the Python
type annotations. A compatibility synonym is defined for now, but will be
removed in a future release.
- HUGE NEW FEATURE - Support for left-recursive parsers!
Following the method used in Python's PEG parser, pyparsing now supports
left-recursive parsers when left recursion is enabled.
import pyparsing as pp
pp.ParserElement.enable_left_recursion()
# a common left-recursion definition
# define a list of items as 'list + item | item'
# BNF:
# item_list := item_list item | item
# item := word of alphas
item_list = pp.Forward()
item = pp.Word(pp.alphas)
item_list <<= item_list + item | item
