there is a tool written in perl for this purpose. see 

	http://friga.mer.utexas.edu/mark/perl/perceps/

for more information. the reason i am posting this, is because i would
be interested to port this tool to python, mainly because i am
familiar with python and have no clue about perl.

i would take the time to port it, and make the port available to the
python community, if someone could help me in understanding what perl
is doing (mainly regarding structure and regular expressions).
