"""Parse the Accept-Language header as defined in RFC2616.

See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.4
for details.  This module should follow the spec.

Some use samples:

>>> parse("da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7")
['da', 'en_gb', 'en']
>>> parse("en;q=0.2, fr;q=1")
['fr', 'en']
>>> parse("zn; q = 0.2 ,pt-br;q =1")
['pt_br', 'zn']
>>> parse("es-AR")
['es_AR']
>>> parse("es-es-cat")
['es_es_cat']
>>> parse("")
[]
>>> parse(None)
[]
>>> parse("   ")
[]
>>> parse("en,")
['en']
