Djikstra's Shunting Yard Algorithm

        Python implementation of Djikstra's shunting yard algorithm(aka converting infix to RPN). Read in-code documentation for details. I've coded in some atypical operators(&&, ||), feel free to throw them out if you feel you need to do so. It's quite easy.

So far it works ok(tested on 3+4*2/(1-5)^2^3 and on x(y(90),90)). If I find some mistake, I'll correct it. Fine :)

Example:

a = Djikstrer()
a.run(['2','+','2']);

a.output now contains ['2','2','+']

'''Hey, it's public domain :)'''

class MismatchedParenthesesException(Exception):
 '''Raised when Djikstrer detects that there is something wrong with separators or parentheses'''
 pass
 
class Djikstrer:
 '''This class performs conversion from infix expressions to Reverse Polish Notation using Djikstra's shunting yard
 algorithm. Function run() accepts a list of tokens(yes, the expression needs to be tokenized first) and after run() finishes
 there is a list of tokens in class' attribute 'output' in RPN order. New operators can be added below. Smaller precedence
 means the operator will get executed later, ie. multiplication has greater precedence than addition. Obviously, precedence is set in 
 op_prec dictionary. assoc, lassor and rassoc dictionaries specify whether the operators are associative, left-associative or 
 right-associative. Note: one class can perform many conversions, as 'run' method cleans the stack and output before analysis.
 Another note: watch out for unary minus(ie. -5) passed as two tokens, as it will certainly screw the stuff up.
 Same with unary plus(but who would type something like that?'''
 operators = ('&&','||','+','-','*','/','^')
 op_prec = {'+':3,'-':3,'*':4,'/':4,'^':5,'&&':6,'||':6}
 assoc = {'+':True,'-':False,'*':True,'/':False,'^':False,'||':True,'&&':True}
 lassoc = {'+':True,'-':True,'*':True,'/':True,'^':False,'||':True,'&&':True}
 rassoc = {'+':True,'-':False,'*':True,'/':False,'^':True,'||':True,'&&':True}
