A colleague is working on a program to generate railroad grammar
diagrams from grammar descriptions, and chose Python as an example.
The output (a PostScript file) is available on the world-wide web as

http://www.cwi.nl/~guido/railroad.ps

This is pretty neat -- much more graspable than the average textual
grammar summary!

I'm considering to put this in an appendix to the Python Reference
Manual. Anyone got ideas for improvements?

For more info, email to Kees.Blom@cwi.nl.
