+There's not much to this script.  I decided to create it after facing difficulties using the alternative ways to get Python to talk to Stanford's dependency parser.  First, I had trouble initializing a JVM using JPypes on two different machines with [stanford-parser-python](http://projects.csail.mit.edu/spatial/Stanford_Parser), and Jython's lack of support for the Python modules I needed prevented a [Jython solution](http://blog.gnucom.cc/2010/using-the-stanford-parser-with-jython/). 
 
 It runs the Stanford CoreNLP jar in a separate process, communicates with the java process using its command-line interface, and makes assumptions about the output of the parser in order to parse it into a Python dict object and transfer it using JSON.  The parser will break if the output changes significantly. I have only tested this on **Core NLP tools version 1.0.2** released 2010-11-12.
