I have not found any complete description, but the paup documentation
http://paup.csit.fsu.edu/Cmd_ref_v2.pdf
together with our local paup guru from sytematic botanics usually covers
all my needs for nexus processing in python ...

You may or may not find this interresting:
Maddison, D. R., Swofford, D. L., Maddison, W. P. 1997. 
NEXUS: An extensible file format for systematic information. 
Syst. Biol. 46(4):590-621
http://newfish.mbl.edu/Course/References/PDF/maddisonetal.pdf

good luck
