Parsing in Python

I want a TAP parser in Python, so I tried yeanpypa:

from yeanpypa import *

non_zero_number = AnyOf('123456789') + ZeroOrMore(digit)
rest_of_line    = OneOrMore(NoneOf('\n'))

plan = Literal('1..') + non_zero_number

todo_directive = Optional(' ') + rest_of_line
skip_reason    = ZeroOrMore(NoneOf(' ')) + Literal(' ')
               + rest_of_line
skip_directive = Optional(' ') + Literal('# ')
               + Literal('skip') + Optional(skip_reason)
directive      = Optional(' ') + Literal('# ')
               + (skip_directive | todo_directive)

description = Optional(' ') + Optional('- ')
            + ZeroOrMore(NoneOf('#\n'))
ok_not_ok   = Literal('ok') | Literal('not ok')
test_num    = Optional(' ') + non_zero_number

test = ok_not_ok + Optional(test_num)
     + Optional(description) + Optional(directive)

plan_skipped   = Literal('1..0') + skip_directive
plan_first_tap = plan + ZeroOrMore(Literal('\n') + test)
plan_last_tap  = test + ZeroOrMore(Literal('\n') + test)
               + Optional(Literal('\n') + plan)

tap = plan_skipped | plan_first_tap | plan_last_tap

I guess it works, but it feels like writing a regular expression longhand. I would probably also make it more lax if I wrote it as an re, as it would be easier to write \s*-\s* in the description rule, say.
