Re: Python Support: Patch to add automatic indenting

[Akim Demaille]

Hi Dennis,

Sorry for not being responsive on this regard.

First, could you please explain why you work on this?  AFAIK, there
is already a bunch of tools for Python, so what do you think that
Bison can provide here?  In short, will there really be users?  Do
you have evidence that this code base will be used somewhere?

There are already quite a number of Bison skeletons existing on the
internet, for many languages.  But I don't think we can include them
all in Bison per se, as it's a maintenance burden.

Why this wouldn't be the case here?  Is there a community of users
somewhere?  Have you contacted the Python community and see how
Bison is received there?

Thanks!
