<a href="__builtin__.object-class.html"><code>object</code></a> --+
         |
        <b>ParserEngine</b>
</pre><br />

<hr/>

<p>Wraps the interface to the binary bison/lex-generated parser engine 
dynamic library.</p>
<p>You shouldn't need to deal with this at all.</p>
Takes care of:
<ul>
  <li>
    building the library (if the parser rules have changed)
  </li>
  <li>
    loading the library and extracting the parser entry point
  </li>
  <li>
    calling the entry point
  </li>
  <li>
    closing the library
  </li>
</ul>
Makes direct calls to the platform-dependent routines in 
bisondynlib-[linux|windows].c

  Important note -this is totally linux-specific. If you want windows 
  support, you'll have to modify these funcs to use glib instead (or 
  create windows equivalents), in which case I'd greatly appreciate you 
  sending me a patch.
