Nothing to do with the parsing but I noticed:

def get_files(path): 
      ''' Get a list of all files in a given directory. 
          Returns a list of filename strings. ''' 
      files = os.listdir(path) 
      return files 

Since you are just returning the result of listdir you 
could achieve the same effect by simply aliasing listdir:

get_files = os.listdir


Much less typing!
