[Pyparsing] Supporting Spelling Variations

[Tim C. <tim...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I need to support both 'specialise' and 'specialize'  (actually there
are many British/Australian/US spelling variations like this) 

My first attempts were to use either an Or list or a MatchFirst list.

i.e. Suppress("specialise" Or "specialize")

Each of those raised: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ^:
'str' and 'str'

My solution (so far) is:
specialise = Suppress("specialise")
specialize = Suppress("specialize")
specialiseSection = (specialise | specialize + ...

Is there a better/more efficient approach?

Cheers,
Tim
