Ahhh, right, I've got you now. Thanks for the clarification.

So as I see it I've got the following options:
1) write the parser in ocaml. Wrap ocaml in C then wrap that using SWIG into 
a python module.
2) write the parser in C. Use SWIG to generate Ocaml and python modules.
3) write the parser in python. Use Pycaml to call the python module from 
Ocaml.

The determining factor seems to be down to my preference for implementation 
language; I should be able to call functions and convert return types across 
each of these interfaces fairly easily. Is that a fair summary?
