There seems to be a great diversity of parsing tools available for 
Python programmers.  Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

PLY (Python Lex/Yacc)
  http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/

PyParsing
  http://pyparsing.sourceforge.net/

SPARK (Scanning Parsing And Rewriting Kit)
  http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~aycock/spark/

You might also find the following an interesting read, if this sort of 
thing interests you:
