pyparsing v2.1.9 Release Notes
Release Date: 2016-09-01 // over 7 years ago-
➕ Added class CloseMatch, a variation on Literal which matches "close" matches, that is, strings with at most 'n' mismatching characters.
🛠 Fixed bug in Keyword.setDefaultKeywordChars(), reported by Kobayashi Shinji - nice catch, thanks!
📜 Minor API change in pyparsing_common. Renamed some of the common expressions to PEP8 format (to be consistent with the other pyparsing_common expressions): . signedInteger -> signed_integer . sciReal -> sci_real
Also, in trying to stem the API bloat of pyparsing, I've copied some of the global expressions and helper parse actions into pyparsing_common, with the originals to be deprecated and removed in a future release: . commaSeparatedList -> pyparsing_common.comma_separated_list . upcaseTokens -> pyparsing_common.upcaseTokens . downcaseTokens -> pyparsing_common.downcaseTokens
(I don't expect any other expressions, like the comment expressions, quotedString, or the Word-helping strings like alphas, nums, etc. to migrate to pyparsing_common - they are just too pervasive. As for the PEP8 vs camelCase naming, all the expressions are PEP8, while the parse actions in pyparsing_common are still camelCase. It's a small step - when pyparsing 3.0 comes around, everything will change to PEP8 snake case.)
🛠 Fixed Python3 compatibility bug when using dict keys() and values() in ParseResults.getName().
✅ After some prodding, I've reworked the unitTests.py file for pyparsing over the past few releases. It uses some variations on unittest to handle my testing style. The test now: . auto-discovers its test classes (while maintining their order of definition) . suppresses voluminous 'print' output for tests that pass
