fro 2.0.0

A module for parsing string representations of objects

Fro is a Python module for parsing strings and text into Python objects. It offers a concise, declarative, and expressive interface for mapping strings to data, abstracting away boilerplate code and making it easy to quickly write bug-free parsers.

Fro is compatible with Python 2.7+ and Python 3.x, and can be installed via pip. Documentation for the module can be found at http://pythonhosted.org/fro.
