How To Install python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7

In this tutorial we learn how to install python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7. python-funcparserlib is Recursive descent parsing library based on functional combinators

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7.

What is python-funcparserlib

Parser combinators are just higher-order functions that take parsers as their arguments and return them as result values. Parser combinators are * First-class values * Extremely composable * Tend to make the code quite compact * Resemble the readable notation of xBNF grammars Parsers made with funcparserlib are pure-Python LL(*) parsers. It means that it’s very easy to write them without thinking about look-aheads and all that hardcore parsing stuff. But the recursive descent parsing is a rather slow method compared to LL(k) or LR(k) algorithms. So the primary domain for funcparserlib is parsing little languages or external DSLs (domain specific languages).

We can use yum or dnf to install python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install python-funcparserlib.

Install python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache

After updating yum database, We can install python-funcparserlib using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install python-funcparserlib

Install python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7 Using dnf

If you don’t have dnf installed you can install DNF on CentOS 7 first. Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache

After updating yum database, We can install python-funcparserlib using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install python-funcparserlib

How To Uninstall python-funcparserlib on CentOS 7

To uninstall only the python-funcparserlib package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove python-funcparserlib
