Long ago, I did get some test programs running via the Python XPCOM 
layer to Swarm.
Look around in the swarm-support archives for details, I think they were 
posted here.
The Python support in XPCOM (Mozilla) is more mature now, and part of 
Mozilla proper, and I think it would work fine, once the XPCOM libraries 
for Swarm were built (the COM/ subdirectory in the Swarm distribution).  
The XPCOM interface works in a similar way to the Java interface.
