Parsing a python-like language

hey.
i have to parse a python like language and im looking for the best language for this. my favourite is yacc but i realy do not want to use c. i also looked at javacc but, meh, i dont like it.

my favourite would be perl but i have to care for speed.

so /prog/ say me what i should use.
(ohh, btw. i do not want to compile nor to interpret that language, just parse, do some syntax-checking and translate into another language)

the point is that everyone Should support it but that they are too busy ironing bugs out of their 2.6 code to undertake porting it to python3k code (which incidentally would fix most of the bugs)
