The first and most obvious question is of course why you
cannot use Python itself as the command language...

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-code.html

If you insist on building your own command language, you can
perhaps use the cmd (simple CLI) or shlex (shell-like lexing)
modules:

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-shlex.html

For fancier stuff, skip over to the vaults of parnassus and look
under "programming tasks, parsing and formatting"

Hope this helps!
