-    """Pgen parsing tables conversion class.

-    Once initialized, this class supplies the grammar tables for the
-    parsing engine implemented by parse.py.  The parsing engine
-    accesses the instance variables directly.  The class here does not
-    provide initialization of the tables; several subclasses exist to
-    do this (see the conv and pgen modules).
-
-    The load() method reads the tables from a pickle file, which is
-    much faster than the other ways offered by subclasses.  The pickle
-    file is written by calling dump() (after loading the grammar
-    tables using a subclass).  The report() method prints a readable
-    representation of the tables to stdout, for debugging.
