I am going to assume that since no one was excited about my post, that 
the answer is: no, there is no interest in seperating the parser from 
the rest of the Python run time.

At any rate, if anyone is looking for a standalone C Python parser 
library, you can get it at the following URL. It includes a "print the 
tree" example that displays the AST for a specified file. It only 
supports a subset of the parse tree (assignment, functions, print, 
return), but it should be obvious how it could be extended.
