A lot of those links are a bit dated:

kwParsing should probably link www.chordate.com, not the starship
mcf.pars seems to have gone missing; I can't find it at any rate.
"A parser generator based on M.-A. Lemburg's mxTextTools" likewise
The link to PyBison got me a "connection refused"; this may be
temporary (or not)

These are the first four on the list, which is a little disconcerting!

All the others work.

Now I have to find one I can use..
