I use Python as my main programming language, and JPype for access to  
Java libraries.  It allows you to call Java directly from Python, and  
is handy for using Java stuff such as the aforementioned Stanford  
parsers.

It's also pretty easy to write a wrapper to call C or C++ from Python  
to use things like the Charniak or Link parsers.

Cheers,
