         other ways to access it.

+        :param bool error_recovery: If enabled, any code will be returned. If
             it is invalid, it will be returned as an error node. If disabled,
             you will get a ParseError when encountering syntax errors in your
             code.

+        :param str start_symbol: The grammar symbol that you want to parse. Only
             allowed to be used when error_recovery is False.
-        :param cache bool: Keeps a copy of the parser tree in RAM and on disk
+        :param str path: The path to the file you want to open. Only needed for caching.
+        :param bool cache: Keeps a copy of the parser tree in RAM and on disk
             if a path is given. Returns the cached trees if the corresponding
             files on disk have not changed.

+        :param bool diff_cache: Diffs the cached python module against the new
             code and tries to parse only the parts that have changed. Returns
             the same (changed) module that is found in cache. Using this option
             requires you to not do anything anymore with the old cached module,
             because the contents of it might have changed.

             directory. If not given, defaults to the default cache places on
