Hi Tudor,

Well, I'm not really into Python, but I guess it would be nice to have  
some basic support for Python in Creator :-)

Maybe you can use one of the parser generators I wrote (kdevelop-pg or  
QLALR  http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2007/03/09/lalr1-and-trolltechs-creative-fridays/ 
  ).

It's a few years that I'm not working on kdev-pg so I don't really  
know if it still usable, but QLALR is maintained and used in Qt to  
generate parsers for QXmlStream and QtScript.

ciao robe
