Generally, when doing a simple parsing you'd use re module (regular expression). More complex parsers would use pyparsing (3rd party module). I've never used pyparsing myself though. You might download pyparsing here:http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/Download+and+Installation -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
