Other candidates besides PLY:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/LanguageParsing

I'm not sure this is a "one size fits all" problem space.

Personally I find PLY's use of docstrings for grammar definition a bit
too clever (as I'm sure others have their own personal likes and
dislikes on any of these packages, even (gasp) pyparsing).
