kanzureso, yeah, where conditions in pyparsing10:21
kanzurethe idea is to pass off anything in the where clause to booleano10:22
kanzureand then construct the parse tree with a branch pointing over to booleano's parse tree10:22
kanzureheh "Getting started with pyparsing" (Paul McGuire) has some cooking examples that basically match the grammar i have going for dependency expressions10:30

kanzurewell they are a political organization apparently11:33
kanzureso they are trying to influence policymakers apparently11:33
kanzureapparently apparently apparently11:33
NoahjIt kind of sounds like they're trying to solve the problem that when things change in some fundamental way it takes time to adjust by making those adjustments before things change 11:35
NoahjBut they'll probably change things fundamentally by making those adjustments whether those previously  mentioned things that are going to change change they way they expected or not11:36
NoahjAlso, they should read Foundation, I hear that's sort of the premise11:36
