I currently have a branch (mathtext_mgd), where I am implementing the 
TeX layout model in Python.  It does not attempt to reimplement the 
whole kit-and-kaboodle (especially the parser and macros etc.), just the 
box model and some of the math layout algorithms, so it won't support 
the kind of things Gael is suggesting.  But the existing adjacency model 
was becoming somewhat of a dead end wrt implementing new features like 
fractions and radicals.  Stay tuned -- the code is already beyond 
feature parity with the old implementation, so I expect to merge this 
back into the trunk soon.

Cheers,
Mike
