Karl,
You could look at the heekscnc python that is used to parse generated
gcode. This is used
to capture the tool paths for display in heekscnc. Its not directly usable, but
it might
give you a starting point to roll your own. Have a look at:
http://code.google.com/p/heekscnc/source/browse/trunk/nc/iso_read.py

Andy
