Hey Vincent. Equation parsing sounds pretty ambitious - certainly a higher level language like Python will multiply your chances significantly. My Python to RPN converter doesn't have any specific parsing or token related functionality like e.g. the tokenize module. It is simply core Python syntax (which is very powerful), but no built in Python libraries that you would get in desktop Python. You have to rely on the ability to call HP42S commands from Python to do your work. Specifically, it has the following capabilities:

1. Variables
2. Functions, Multiple functions, nested functions
3. Parameter passing, receiving return values, multiple return values
4. if elif else
5. Comparison operators == != > < >= <=
6. Booleans True, False and operators not or and
7. for loops, range(), for..in iteration through lists and dictionary keys
8. while loops, while...else
9. continue and break operations in for loops and while loops
10. Lists and Dictionaries (basic operations only).
11. Matrices, Pythonic matrix element access syntax [row,col]
12. NumPy compatible slicing syntax for sub-matrices
13. Complex numbers using either 42S or Python native syntax
14. Expressions involving nested brackets
15. assert
16. Testing and clearing of flags
17. Access most HP42S commands as function calls e.g. FIX(2)
18. Some enhanced functions to make like easier e.g. varmenu() automates and simplifies the generation of MVAR based code.
    

You write in Python, hit a button and RPN is generated. Paste the RPN into Free42 or transfer it to your DM42 - and it runs.
I've sent you a PM with the beta site url. If anybody else is interested, feel free to PM me.
