You could use Xorn.  Since this uses the actual gEDA parsing code, the 
result is exactly what gEDA would see when reading the file.  Taking the 
"outputting coords of line segments" task as an example, this would be:

     import xorn.storage
     from xorn.geda.read import read

     sch = read('some-schematic.sch')

     for ob in sch.toplevel_objects():
         data = ob.data()
         if isinstance(data, xorn.storage.Line):
             print 'X1: %d Y1: %d X2: %d Y2: %d' % (
                 data.x, data.y, data.x + data.width, data.y + data.height)

You don't have to install Xorn in order import its modules; just add the 
directory "built-packages" in the build directory to PYTHONPATH.
