phpreader
This is a first stab at a parsing module written in Python that can read
PHP's array syntax, such as produced by var_export.
I am sure that this is not at 100% accuracy yet, but the only real issues I can see are in string escape parsing and obscure float representations, along with notions of true, false, and null (I don't use any of these).
