Dear all, It is my pleasure to announce the first version of the *searchstringparser* package (0.2.3) on pypi. It currently contains a PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) based implementation of a general lexer and PostgreSQL specific parser. The parser translates general search queries that users might expect to be able to enter in a search form into strings that implement the correct logic for the PostgreSQL full text search functions tsquery and to_tsquery. The package is BSD licensed and you can get a full overview of the package at https://searchstringparser.readthedocs.org/ It is hosted on github and is fully integrated with Travis, AppVeyor, and Coveralls using py.test and tox. Feedback, bug reports, parser suggestions, and forks of the project are welcome!
