+SUMMARY="A Parser Generator for Python (w/mxTextTools derivative)"
+DESCRIPTION="
+SimpleParse is a BSD-licensed Python package providing a simple and fast parser 
+generator using a modified version of the mxTextTools text-tagging engine.
+SimpleParse allows you to generate parsers directly from your EBNF grammar.
+Unlike most parser generators, SimpleParse generates single-pass parsers (there
+is no distinct tokenization stage), an approach taken from the predecessor
+project (mcf.pars) which attempted to create \"autonomously parsing regex
+objects\". The resulting parsers are not as generalized as those created by, for
+instance, the Earley algorithm, but they do tend to be useful for the parsing of
+computer file formats and the like (as distinct from natural language and
+similar \"hard\" parsing problems)."
