[BangPypers] Language Parsing and output generation

[Gopalakrishnan Subramani]

I could make a grammar compiled myself. I will look into SPARK.. Anybody has
experience in pyparsing http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/ ?
Under Examples http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/Examples Python language
example is promising.

Regards,

Gopal
