A pure Python scannerless LR/GLR parser.
For more information see the docs.
This is just a small example to get the general idea. This example shows how to parse and evaluate expressions with 5 operations with different priority and associativity. Evaluation is done using semantic/reduction actions.
The whole expression evaluator is done in under 30 lines of code!
