Need parser for C-like grammar

[Albert]

Hi group

I need to develop a parser for a descriptor file which
uses a c-like syntax.

Is there any package available (preferably with examples
of such c-like grammar) that allows me to define the grammar
in an easy way and use this to parse the file into a tree of
python objects?

Thanks
Albert

there was a thread recently about a C compiler written in Python.
It's alleged to use the visitor pattern for code generation so it might be
adaptable to your needs.
