parsers / lexers usable from Python and Java (and C++/C)?

No, I really did mean CPython and Java, not CPython and Jython.

Thanks.  There doesn't seem to be anything promising there,
unfortunately.

All I've found so far are some threads in which Tim Peters complains
about the lack of a Python interface of some kind to lex.  Maybe I can
automatically SWIG-wrap lex's lexers, and use jflex for Java.  For
parsing (and maybe lexing too), *maybe* it's possible to auto-wrap the
C++ ANTLR outputs, but wrapping C++ (even generated C++) in an
automated way without pain seems unlikely.
