The idd/idf is written entirely from scratch. It works, but is quite slow and probably fragile. The parser should be completely rewritten, probably using a well-established parsing library like PyParsing. This would be many times faster and more robust. A rewrite will likely be necessary anyway once EnergyPlus moves to the upcoming xml file format.

Significant improvements have been done over time, but the long term approach may still be to use PyParsing

E+ is moving to a json file format, so there will be many options for pre-existing parsers.
