Probably the Python2C stuff that reformats a standard Python 
parse tree into something saner. Another possibility might be 
John Aycock's stuff; but his Python grammar doesn't produce 
an AST (it only verifies), and the grammar has some errors. I 
think Aaron Watters also did a Python grammar (for 1.4?), but 
I never looked at that.
