[Docutils-develop] reST.php?

hi all,

i'm a contributor to drupal ( http://drupal.org ), a php content
management/discussion engine. me and some others there quite like rST,
and we are currently discussing ( http://drupal.org/node.php?id=3D507#649
,
http://drupal.org/node.php?title=3DStructured+Text+-+filter+enhancement )
the use of (re)StructuredText for submitting (and maybe storing) content
to the system. hence my questions:

- does a php port of (re)StructuredText exists?
- does a php port of something similar to (re)StructuredText exists
(aside of http://www.keithdevens.com/software/ , StructuredText Markup)?
- does any other language port of rST or similar exists?
- as there is probably none of above: do you think it is possible to
port rST to php? more specifically:
  . is there any general experience in porting python to php?
  . how much of / which parts of the docutils distribution would be
required to port for basic functionality, i.e. for rendering html? how
much for more functionality including xml-storage?
  . is there any developer documentation about the code structure /
class hierarchies / ... beside
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/#docutils-internals , the code and the
devel-mailing list?

looking forward for your feedback. tia.
