  • Lark

    Lark is a parsing toolkit for Python, built with a focus on ergonomics, performance and modularity.

  • Both were open sourced under MIT license (there's no dependency to Beancount lib). The reason I don't use Beancount lib is that I want to handle things like comments and emac org syntax. It would be much easier and cleaner to build a Lark based parser and work on top of that. Since the product I build is SaaS and there's zero dependency to the Beancount core, there was actually no requirement for open sourcing them. But I really like the plantext accounting community and would like to give back as much as I can, so I open sourced them here.
