adamghillAnnnnd I’m parsing HTML with regex again.
And now I'm parsing CSS with regex. Because I did not learn my lesson the first time.
Thinking about installing https://pypi.org/project/regex/ just so I can use recursive regex.
Regex: “now you’ve got 2 problems”
Recursive regex: “now you’ve got 2² problems”
Side questing into PEGs and #EBNF grammars (that I only barely understand) to parse #CSS.
https://pypi.org/project/pyparsing/ looks useful, but I found this rudimentary CSS #PEG (https://gist.github.com/erikrose/5624176) which can be used by https://pypi.org/project/parsimonious/ and it… appears to work?
I was already re-writing the current CSS processing (remove the recusion, add in dataclasses to encapsulate domains, etc), but maybe using a more formal grammar would be a good idea. #python
