Your approach should work. It has value and I would take a look if you made it, but not too sure how useful it would compared to just spending the time making lots of build orders (and watching pro replays). Still, I think you should do it anyway because all of these incremental improvements from developers over time might add up to something awesome.

I have c# for parsing blueprints from FAF (and exporting them to html,csv,pdf,png) and parsing and rendering maps. I would need to fix it up before I publish but am happy to share. You don't need my code to do your idea tho.

Yeah I think the level of interest depends on how your mind works. I imagine there are plenty of people who couldn't imagine anything more boring

Thanks for your time.

there was lua parser somewhere in the lobby source I wrote back in the days. you could search for that
it was literally my first real thing I wrote on python

but really there might be some other solutions out there.
5 secs of googling brought me to this http://labix.org/lunatic-python

quick example
>>> import lua
>>> lua.execute("d['key'] = 'value'")
>>> d
{'key': 'value'}

looks like something you need

Thanks squirrel I'll have a look.
