No, jython does not support the parser module, but while
supporting its concrete trees would have been a very painful
operation, we can use our parsing technology to make
the compiler package parsing part working also
under Jython, that is at least *my* plan,

then IMHO CPython parser module should be slowly deprecated
for users and used only internally by the compiler package.
