pdfbuilder doesn't work withon jython

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Sphinx (1.1.3) on Jython (2.5.2) with extension rst2pdf.pdfbuilder 
enabled
2. When using builder 'pdf', Sphinx prints this error:

Extension error:
Could not import extension rst2pdf.pdfbuilder (exception: No module named 
parser)

The reason seems to be that pdfbuilder.py tries to import module 'parser' which 
is not defined in Jython. Fwiw, Sphinx itself is aware of the issue and does 
this (in highlighting.py):

try:
    import parser
except ImportError:
    # parser is not available on Jython
    parser = None

Please answer the following questions, they are *very* important:

* Version of Jython?

2.5.2

* Version of rst2pdf?

rst2pdf-0.92-py2.5 (pure Python mode)

* Are you using rst2pdf with Sphinx, and if true, what version?

Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Interestingly, pdfbuilder.py uses parser for exactly the same reason as Sphinx' 
highlighting.py, so Sphinx' approach would work just fine for pdfbuilder.py:

    if parser is None:
        return True

    try:
        parser.suite(src)
    except SyntaxError, UnicodeEncodeError:
        return False
    else:
        return True
