mwparserfromhell is used by and originally developed for EarwigBot; Page objects have a parse() method that essentially calls mwparserfromhell.parse() on get().

If you’re using PyWikipedia, your code might look like this:

import mwparserfromhell
import wikipedia as pywikibot
def parse(title):
    site = pywikibot.get_site()
    page = pywikibot.Page(site, title)
    text = page.get()
    return mwparserfromhell.parse(text)

If you’re not using a library, you can parse templates in any page using the following code (via the API):

import json
import urllib
import mwparserfromhell
API_URL = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php"
def parse(title):
    raw = urllib.urlopen(API_URL, data).read()
    res = json.loads(raw)
    text = res["query"]["pages"].values()[0]["revisions"][0]["*"]
    return mwparserfromhell.parse(text)
