yex.parse.StringSource

yex.parse.StringSource(string, name=None)

Bases: yex.parse.source.Source

A source based on a string. We split the string into lines at linebreaks, which are whatever Python's str.splitlines() thinks they are. We replace them with a single carriage return (ASCII 13) at the end of each line, including the last line.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
string	str	a string of characters.
