I see, I thought that would only be a good place to look for parsing.
Now I downloaded Chandler and quickly found the parsing module they
use but not the one for display but it has to be there I'm sure. They
must use this all over the place.

Yes, roundup has a separate module for this and it does the display,
not parsing. This is exactly what I need.

Yep, I already did :)

Exactly, that's what I was mentioning in my original post too.
Actually it looks like the one included in roundup is a stand alone
library for display (but not parsing). It's released under the same
license as python itself maybe they can be convinced to release it as
a stand alone module to the cheeseshop.
