Thanks!  That's where I found out about it.

I'm also interested - how can I get in touch with Hans?  Alternatively, Hans, if you're 
on the list, can you contact me?

More generally, is there a "projects" page somewhere for things like this with contact 
details for the lead / maintainer?

The generated Python code looks pretty good to me, but I don't know Jython so I can't 
confirm if it works out of the box.  I've started on implementing the ANTLR runtime 
classes in Python so generated code can be run by standard Python.

It would be great to get this working - I don't know of a really good parser 
generator for Python.

Michael.
