It's grammAr. A grammar is a formal description of the structure of a 
language. It is not a parser; rather it is a specification of what the 
parser needs to do.

Perhaps if you describe your actual problem and say why you want to use 
a grammar we can be of more help, either pointing you to a parsing 
solution or helping to solve the problem without a formal parser. (Most 
Python text processing problems can be solved with simple string 
processing or regular expressions.)
