SNOBOL/SPITBOL Patterns for Python
Project description
Portable SNOBOL/SPITBOL Patterns for Python.
Patterns can be composed with other Patterns and strings using the ‘+’ and ‘|’ operators.
Based on a C-language translation of the GNU Ada (GNAT) package by the original creator of SPITBOL.
- Available as part of “spipat” C library::
tar zxvf spipat-0.9.3.tar.gz
./configure
make;
make install (as root via “sudo” or “su”)
cd python
make
make install (as root via “sudo” or “su”)
Type “pydoc spipat” for documentation.
In theory, the package is system independent, given a C99 compiler, but has never been compiled with anything but gcc. MINGW should work, if that’s how Python was built.
