LineStart *really* wants to be parsed at the beginning of a line.
Your textline reads up to but not including the LineEnd. Try making
these changes.
1. Change textline to:
textline = pp.Combine(
pp.Group(pp.Word(pp.alphas, pp.printables) + pp.restOfLine)) +
\
pp.LineEnd().suppress()
2. Change comb to:
comb = head + parser
With these changes, my version of your code runs ok.
