the project's wiki: http://pyconstruct.wikispaces.com/ (anyone can

I've never seen Construct before, but when you say "parser" I think of
parsing programming languages. The couple of examples on the Construct wiki
look more like what I'd use the struct module for. Can you define
constructs to parse, say, common arithmetic expressions like "(a + b) *4"?
Does it return some sort of abstract syntax tree?

Kind of. Except that struct module does not scale and is less readable.
You can say struct is not pythonic, construct is. IMHO construct is a
good candidate for stdlib
