Python Moodle GIFT parser

The program consist in two parts: parser.py with lex/yacc and gift.py with classes where parser results will saved. The class Gift will contain all questions and every Question will have an answer (there are several types of answers - read the Moodle GIFT documentation).

How to run (use) the parser

There is an example.py script python with an example. This script expect a file and parse it. After that it prints the object Gift with all information catched by the parser.

Use it like a package in your own project

You can install it like a package using pip from pypi.org: pip install pygiftparserrgmf.

After that, you can parse a file like this:

from pygiftparserrgmf import parser

with open('gift_file.txt', 'r') as myfile:
    s = myfile.read()
    gift_object = parser.parse(s)

From here you'll have Gift object into gift_object (see pygiftparser/gift.py file).

Hot to test the parser

Inside tests folder there are several tests. You can run all of them executing the command python -m unittest discover -v -s tests/.
