I agree with Aanonymous.

I'd like to see at least python supported besides ruby.
Php and perl would not hurt either.

Just adding a vote for Python. If I have time I'll try and contribute something, but realistically it's not going to happen.

In order to support Python, the best way would be to write a grammar file for kdevelop-pg. If someone is willing to take that on, rock it! However, the current developers are not interested in doing this.

One more for Python, please. :)

As for the grammar files... Aren't they available right on the Python site?
-> http://docs.python.org/ref/grammar.txt

I'd also like to see python support!
Is it hard to write a grammer file?

It is not a trivial task, that is for sure. Jakob can give you more information on what is involved. You'd need some pretty good computer science skills though.

Er... computer science skills? How in the world did I manage to write those two parsers, then? No, really, I didn't have _any_ parsing skills when I started.

Parsing theory and the kdevelop-pg parser generator were a black box for me until after I finished the parser. It's not really hard, you just need to practice it a little. Currently, I can't think of any special hints to give away, but if you need assistance, don't hesitate to mail me.
