phply is a parser for the PHP programming language written using PLY, a Lex/YACC-style parser generator toolkit for Python. See README.Slackware for some usage notes. A Note on Dependencies: Nose is only required to run the python test suite. It is not a run-time dependency and can be safely removed after phply is built. The python library simplejson is an optional dependency. phply ships with a script php2json.py in /usr/doc/phply-$VERSION/tools that requires it.
