FWIW, Mach3 is relatively safe from attack. Trademarks apply to a
particular domain only, and razor blades and software are quite different
domain. In addition, there must be reasonable reason to believe that the

Just FYI, unless I am mistaken, you are not really wanting to parse gcode.
You really just want to process a text file and do a smart search and
replace, replacing (for example) M03 S1000 with a looked up value based on
that speed, hypothetically M100 P2 S125.
Python is excellent for that, but
It can generate toolpaths for curvy shapes in three dimensions, but it
cannot create curvy 3 dimensional models. So if you generate a 3d model in a
