The best way to parse a FIX message?

Question

How do you parse a FIX message using python ? (FIX message as in the 'financial' FIX Protocol)

Answer 1

do you mean by using QuickFIX ? (I can see QuickFIX in your tags)

if that is the case, I don't know. Generally it's not difficult to write a simple parser for a FIX message. I found that the web tools on valid fix do the job.
