Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports a wide range of Python versions (3.7–3.14), and carries a permissive Apache license. Install friction is low with only two common dependencies. It is purpose-built for ESP-IDF workflows and is worth installing if you are working with Espressif chip configuration or build systems.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with only two lightweight runtime dependencies (pyparsing and packaging).
- Active maintenance status with recent releases.

What it is and what it does
esp-bool-parser is a utility for parsing and evaluating boolean expressions used in ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework) configuration files. It reads boolean statements from soc_caps files, parses them into an evaluable form, and stores the results as constants for use in chip attribute lookups. The package depends on pyparsing for expression parsing and packaging for version handling.
The main use case is evaluating conditional logic tied to ESP chip targets and configuration names. You can parse a boolean expression like `IDF_TARGET == "esp32"` and then call `get_value()` with a target name and config identifier to determine if the expression evaluates to true. Additionally, you can register custom attribute handlers to extend the parser's behavior when it encounters new or overridden attributes during evaluation.
Use it for
- Evaluate ESP-IDF target-specific configuration conditionals during build or runtime chip detection
- Parse soc_caps files to extract and cache chip capability flags as constants for application logic
- Register custom attribute handlers to inject domain-specific evaluation logic into boolean expressions
- Build ESP32 or other Espressif chip tooling that needs to conditionally apply settings based on target type
