+TatSu is a tool that takes grammars in a variation of EBNF as input
+and outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers in Python.
+
+TatSu can compile a grammar stored in a string into a
+tatsu.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given
+input, much like the re module does with regular expressions, or it
+can generate a Python module that implements the parser.
+
+TatSu supports left-recursive rules in PEG grammars using the
+algorithm by Laurent and Mens. The generated AST has the expected
+left associativity.
