a month is more than enough - i would expect to have something in a week. if possible, a data size of 1GB or more would be useful, but otherwise the largest file you have.
i will use http://srd.tcg-net.com/Documentation/MT940/MT9402GB.htm as an initial guide. please remember that this is a "best efforts" attempt only. i have no previous experience with this file format, or with banking data, and the result will come with no warranty. you may want to continue to investigate other solutions. i have no idea what your final application is, but you should at the very least test any parser (and related libraries) thoroughly before using it in a critical application. cheers, andrew ps i'm not sure this conversation should continue on the python list!
