No, I have not.
I've just downloaded it :-) What I can say after five minutes is that 
SPARK may be more powerfull and faster than TPG. Especially its way of 
coding scanning and parsing in Python is very interesting. But TPG has a 
very clear syntax. It's possible to write a grammar with very few code 
and it can generate stand-alone parsers.

I will study SPARK further...

I'm rather new to Python. Do you have other interesting links like this 
one ?
