# The devel/py-ply port

## py3-ply-3.11p9 – Python lex/yacc

## Description

    PLY is an implementation of the lex and yacc parsing tools written
    entirely in Python. It uses LR-parsing which is reasonably efficient and
    well suited for larger grammars.

    PLY provides most of the standard lex/yacc features including support
    for empty productions, precedence rules, error recovery, and support for
    ambiguous grammars.

    It's been abandoned upstream and not expected to be maintained any more.

    Note: do *not* use the undocumented 'picklefile' parameter with untrusted
    or externally writable files - Python's pickle module permits execution
    of embedded code during deserialization, so a malicious pickle file can
    execute arbitrary code during parser setup.
