Far from comparing my brief, layman scripts with mpfth, or incouraging anyone to switch away from mpfth to my scripts, my aim was only to mention parseTemplate() and to incourage anyone to write same routines both in python and in javascript, when possible.

Thank you, but I think we will keep our dependency on mwparserfromhell. Even though it has issues on Windows, it is way more powerful and reliable than any other wikicode parser in Python. And it does not only parse nested templates, but also wikilinks, external links and HTML tags.

While parsing wiki code without specific python tools, I found a major
problem into templates code, since regex can't manage so well nested structures. I solved such issue by a layman approach with a parseTemplate routine, both in python and in javascript, which converts templates into a simple object (a dictionary + a list), coupled with another simple routine which rebuilds the template code from the original, or edited, object. The whole thing is - as I told - very rough and it has written for personal use only; but if anyone is interested about, please ask.
