Drake, Jr.}{fdrake@acm.org} + + +The \module{tokenize} module provides a lexical scanner for Python +source code, implemented in Python.

Each + call to the function should return one line of input as a string. + + The second parameter, \var{tokeneater}, must also be a callable + object. It is called with five parameters: the token type, the + token string, a tuple \code{(\var{srow}, \var{scol})} specifying the + row and column where the token begins in the source, a tuple + \code{(\var{erow}, \var{ecol})} giving the ending position of the + token, and the line on which the token was found.
