Yes, that'd be nice.

Subject: [Pywikipedia-l] Using a true MediaWiki parser (mwparserfromhell)
instead of textlib methods
Hi all,
I had mentioned this in the rewrite roadmap, and noticed it came up on IRC as
well, so I'd like to run this by the mailing list:
User:The Earwig has written a pure-python (with optional C-speedups) MediaWiki
text parser named mwparserfromhell[1]. Currently we have the textlib library
and some various regexes that implement this in a non-perfect way. From my
experience using mwparser (over 400k successful edits with no issues) I believe
it is ready to be bundled with the framework. I think it would still be a good
idea to keep textlib in as a fallback or for users who are currently using it
and don't need to migrate.
As for actually adding it, in the rewrite branch we can just add it as a
dependency in setup.py, and then convert various methods over.
In trunk, I'm guessing we would need to add it as an external. (I'm not sure
how that's actually done.)
