Armature python programmer question about "beancount.parser import _parser"

[Chary Chary]

Dear all,

sorry that I turn this into python tutorial, but I will appreciate if somebody can at least forward me to a right direction

If I look at the file parser.py it contains the following line (118):

from beancount.parser import _parser

However I do not see any _parser.py in the beancount/beancount/parser/ directory

I stumbled across this, because I tried to debug bean-report with PyCharm to see how it works, but I get an error

 

File "C:\_code\py\test\beanc\beancount\beancount\parser\parser.py", line 118, in <module>
    from beancount.parser import _parser
ImportError: cannot import name '_parser' from 'beancount.parser' (C:\_code\py\test\beanc\beancount\beancount\parser\__init__.py)

when however I run bean-report directly from command prompt, I don't get the error.

So, I am a bit lost

_parser is built from the C files that make up the parser. It's built
when you make "make build".
