pyparsing (http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/ http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/) is more object-oriented and composable, and it can parse recursive grammars.

  And of course there's also Parsec (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/daan/download/parsec/parsec.html http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/daan/download/...) for Haskell.

    My first thought was that "Verbal Expressions" are simply parser combinators, which of course can do things that individual regular expressions can't do. From the examples though it looks like this is just translating to regular expressions under the hood, which would make it considerably less powerful than Parsec and other parser combinator libs.

    There's a great clojure parser combinator library inspired by parsec as well: https://github.com/blancas/kern https://github.com/blancas/kern
