The script ParseHevcHighLevelSyntax.py is dedicated to parse hevc high-level syntax (SPS, PPS and slice headers), syntax elements are printed out as plain text.
The script is adapted to work in real time with input fifo and with frame duration latency (therefore the last frame is not processed). 
Two versions of the script supplied:
a) adapted for Python 2x
https://app.box.com/s/vr2s59olnzscpsmkb26g0t4h0pe00fyt
b) adapted for Python 3x
https://app.box.com/s/4rd1zkz61hnj0m471mbnkhka2k835bmx
Constraints:
1) VPS and SEI messages are not parsed
2)  the frame length of last frame of  is not determined
3)  HRD info is not parsed

Usage:

 -i           input hevc file (elementary stream)
-n         number frames to process, if 0 then the whole stream (default  0)
In addition there is non-commercial free HEVC Analyzer
Example [ parse the first two frames]

python ParseHevcHighLevelSyntax.py -i test.h265 -n 2
