search term parsing like Google/Gmail

[Randy Syring]

I am looking for a string parser that works kind of like Google's or 
Gmail's advanced search capabilities.  So it would turn something like this:

    (subject:"hi there" from:[tim, tom, -fred]) or (subject:foobar from:sam)

into a python structure that could be used.  I don't really care so much 
about the search syntax except that easy and intuitive is best for 
users.  Does something like this exist?
