Description

The ply library was archived by its owner late last year and is considered deprecated.
Author recommends moving away from the library.

In scancode it's listed as a requirement but apart from tests (which are using vendored files, as it looks like) I'm unable to find any reference to ply.

So either it can be removed or the implementation requiring the library should be moved to a different lexer
