Python Front-End Overview
Maintained by Karl Trygve Kalleberg
The Python front-end source lives in the file src/python/sds/py2csf.py. It is a simple extension to the parsing example that comes with the Python documentation. In fact, the code for 'match' is exactly as described in the documentation.
Using the Python front-end
After SDS has been make installed, the python front-end will reside in <prefix>/bin as py2csf. Make sure you have Python 1.5.x or newer installed before testing it:
$ <prefix>/bin/py2csf sds/src/python/prefstest.py -o dump.xmlCheck that the file dump.xml contains readable output.
$ <prefix>/bin/py2csf . -o dump.xmlwill parse all the .py files in the current and subdirectories.
See the howto for fuller explanation on how to install and use SDS. Front-ends for other languages exist, check the front-ends page.
Testing and conformance
The Python code has been compiled and tested with the following Python tools:
- Python 1.5.2 on Debian GNU/Linux
See the status page for the situation on conformance to the CSF spec.
