Description:

mxTextTools is an extension package for Python that provides several
useful functions and types that implement high-performance text
manipulation and searching algorithms in addition to a very flexible
and extendable state machine, the Tagging Engine, that allows scanning
and processing text based on low-level byte-code "programs" written
using Python tuples. It gives you access to the speed of C without the
need to do any compile and link steps every time you change the
parsing description.

Applications include parsing structured text, finding and extracting
text (either exact or using translation tables) and recombining
strings to form new text.
