+<longdescription>
+PLY is a Python-only implementation of the popular compiler construction
+tools lex and yacc. The implementation borrows ideas from a number of
+previous efforts; most notably John Aycock's SPARK toolkit. However,
+the overall flavor of the implementation is more closely modeled after
+the C version of lex and yacc. The other significant feature of PLY is
+that it provides extensive input validation and error reporting--much
+more so than other Python parsing tools.
