A quick Google search yields Tweepy, which is a python library for accessing the Twitter API. This should get you started. In terms of parsing the data, you'll need to be a little more specific as to what you want to parse.

This should point you in the right direction

import urllib2, simplejson

json = urllib2.urlopen('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Aalexiskold').read()
tweets = simplejson.loads(json)["results"]
for tweet in tweets: print tweet["text"]

it wouldn't eval so i used simplejson http://simplejson.github.com/simplejson/
