Packaging ?

Hi.

I've been looking at python-parse-2d as it seems to be one of the few tools designed to do 2D textual parsing.

I would have liked to tinker with it. Unfortunately, it is not packaged. It would be great if you would consider making it installable from source with python -m build --wheel followed by cd dist && pip install *.whl --force-reinstall.

My use case for 2D parsing would be:

• Attempting to code a more readable version of the 1993 par tool for paragraph formatting.

• A custom logic language which would best be understood using some kind of layout as follows:

xvw: o
uzw: o
------
xyu: o
yzv: o

This is a combinatorial structure with respect to free variables x, y, z, u, v, w and a relational symbol o separated by some inference line. As such, I'd be curious to know if python-parse-2d would support that kind of 2D layout parsing.

Making a package out of your code would save me some time and get me straight to tinkering.

If you could provide some sample code that would be able to parse two such blocks of axioms randomly placed on a "page", I'm pretty sure your code could fit the bill for what I intend.

Until then, reading your code is a bit rough.

Instructions to run the tests would also be nice.
