[antlr-interest] Parsing a indention specific language like Python.

[Sam Harwell]

There's a python grammar in the examples on the antlr homepage:

Specifically:

Subject: [antlr-interest] Parsing a indention specific language like
Python.

 

I am working on a domain specific language and want to make indention
significant similar to python's syntax.

But very very very very simple compared to python. ( i.e. no line
continuation characters )

I have done some research on Google and just find resource talking about
how difficult it is to do.

Is this something that is really possible with ANTLR v3.x?

Or should I just resign myself to using block identifiers?

Any insight is appreciated.
