Define a simple grammar with classes and parse a string.

from pypeg2 import Symbol, Keyword, attr, parse class Name(Symbol): grammar = attr('first', str), attr('last', str) class Greeting(Keyword): grammar = 'hello' class Sentence: grammar = Greeting, Name result = parse('hello John Doe', Sentence) print(result.greeting, result.name.first, result.name.last)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPyPEG2 uses Python's `str` as a base class for `Symbol`, which means that parsed values become strings. Be careful with type checks and comparisons.

fix

Use the parsed object's attributes directly; do not rely on type identity.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `pypeg2` library is not actively maintained and may have compatibility issues with newer Python versions (e.g., Python 3.10+).

fix

Consider using alternative PEG parser generators like `parsimonious` or `lark-parser` for new projects.

affects: 2.15.2

gotchaGrammar definitions using tuples and `attr` can be confusing. Order of elements in tuple matters for parsing sequence.

fix

Always use `attr` to define fields; the order of tuple elements defines the parse order.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'pypeg2' has no attribute 'parse'

Incorrect import; installed `pypeg` instead of `pypeg2`.

fix

Install correct package: `pip install pypeg2` and use `from pypeg2 import parse`.

TypeError: 'Symbol' object does not support indexing

Treating a parsed `Symbol` as a tuple/list instead of accessing its attributes.

fix

Parse result is an object with attributes; use dot notation like `result.name.first`.

ImportError: cannot import name 'Parser' from 'pypeg2'

Typo in import; correct symbol is `Parser` but some older documentation shows `parser` (lowercase).

fix

Use correct import: `from pypeg2 import Parser` (capital P).
