how print parse-tree using python2 runtime with an

I'm trying to use antlr4 version 4.4 and the python2 runtime. The grammar is from the antlr4 book, page 6, file: Hello.g4:

grammar Hello;           
r  : 'hello' ID ;
ID : [a-z]+ ;
WS : [ \t\r\n]+ -> skip ;

and I generate lexer and parser with command

antlr4 -Dlanguage=Python2 Hello.g4

the files HelloLexer.py, HelloParser.py and HelloListener.py among other, are then generated. I make a main program test.py to test the generated python parser:

from antlr4 import *
from HelloLexer import HelloLexer
from HelloParser import HelloParser

def main(argv):
    input = FileStream(argv[1])
    lexer = HelloLexer(input)
    stream = CommonTokenStream(lexer)
    parser = HelloParser(stream)
    tree = parser.r()
    print tree.toStringTree(parser)        <= the problem is here!

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    main(sys.argv)

Everything seems works ok, except that I can't print the parse tree.

I haven't figured out yet what the problem is.

回答1:

It looks like you took the wrong toStringStree function.

Take a look at the java docs.

This explains the error message "object does not support indexing". The function you chose expects a list of rule names and not the parser.

回答2:

Oddly, toStringTree is a class method in the Python runtimes. You can call it like this to get the lisp style parse tree including stringified tokens:

from antlr4 import *
from antlr4.tree.Trees import Trees
# import your parser & lexer here

# setup your lexer, stream, parser and tree like normal

print(Trees.toStringTree(tree, None, parser))

# the None is an optional rule names list
