OK, glad you found something and I'm sure it will be worth a try.
But I'm pretty sure it will have to embed the Python interpreter
so that the Tcl interpreter will call the python interpreter to 
execute
the parser. That could lead to a significant slow down of your code.
If speed is not a high priority you may get away with it. At least
it should prove the concept and design of the app.

But you may still find you need to use a native Tcl parser if speed
is an issue. (Then again, if speed  was a big issue you probably
wouldn't be working in Tcl or even Python!)
