This may not be directly appropos, but the combination of parset tools, XML,
Python and C leads me immdiately to think of BisonGen:
http://4suite.org/?xslt=downloads.xslt
"BisonGen is a parser generator for Python. It takes an XML file, similar to
bison/flex files in format, and generates from it two parsers: one in C, one
in pure Python."
It should be clarified that both parsers are available from Python. The nice
thing about the approach is that the C parser is available for speed, and the
Python one for portability.
The 4Suite XPath, XPattern and Versa (RDF query language) parsers are written
in BisonGen as examples.
